When the rain fell, Lin Heshen tightened his clothes, and the thin single clothes couldn't stop the chill outside, and being drenched by the rain made him tremble all over.

"Brother River Deep, Brother River Deep...... Why don't we go back? ”

Lin Heyu behind him snorted hard and asked him in a trembling voice.

"What nonsense, do you want to go back and be beaten and scolded? Imagine being killed by thieves like your father and mother? ”

Lin Heshen turned his head viciously and glared at Lin Heyu, the two brothers looked at each other for a while, Lin Heyu lowered his head and muttered: "This, how far does this have to go?" ”

"It's almost there...... Didn't the uncle just say that if you follow this river, you can go to Wuwei, and when you reach Wuwei, you will be close to Xiang'an......" Lin He said in a deep trembling voice.

"But it's been half a walk along the river...... I'm hungry......"

"Here you go." Lin Heshen took out a small half cake from his arms, which was given to him by the kind uncle, and he was reluctant to finish it.

"But Brother Heshen, you haven't eaten enough."

"God, this dog said, when did you let me be full!" Lin He scolded deeply: "Let's go quickly, we can shelter from the rain in front!" ”

The place he said was a ferry in front of him, and there was a canopy erected by someone else. The two quickened their pace, but by the time they arrived, they were still soaked.

A big fat man sat in the middle of the canopy, next to a few servants, behind the canopy, there was a stove, I don't know what was hot in the stove, a smell of braised meat came, tempting people's intestines to start spinning.

The big fat man glanced at the two boys who ran in, looked at their thin clothes, and frowned slightly. Lin Heshen consciously stayed away from him, this fat man is a rich man when he looks at his clothes, the richer he is, the more careful he is, if he is the same as Lin Laocai in their Lin Jiazhuang, but two taels of meat will be scraped out of the ant's legs.

After their parents died in thieves, Lin Laocai not only took back the land that was tenant to their parents, but also scolded the two of them, eager to kill them too!

It's just a bit of his family's graveyard...... Thinking of this, Lin Heshen felt a fire in his stomach. He pulled the river rain and moved away from the fat man.

The fat man frowned again, and the cocked Erlang's legs were also put down: "I see how these two boys are not pleasing to the eye...... Thunder big, thunder small, drive them to the door of the stove, there is a fire there, keep them warm. ”

The two people serving beside him came over, Lin Heshen turned around and wanted to leave, but where could he escape from the adult's hand, he was caught, and Lei Xiao smiled and said: "If you want to escape from the second master, it is impossible, the second master is running behind the tiger all day long!" ”

"Don't blow it, you are the second master, what am I, then master?" The fat man raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

Although Lin Heshen scolded in his mouth, he was put in front of the stove by those people, and he was stripped naked by three times and five divided by two, and then the two brothers had to cover their crotches and look at the big fat man in horror.

There are a lot of rich people, but they like to raise twins!

"His grandmother's, you two fools, take off your clothes and wrap them up for these two little monkey cubs, look at their bones, and throw wild dogs outside to disgust their teeth, my lord, my eyes hurt." The big fat man snorted.

"Master, but if our brother is cold, there will be no waiter for you." The two brothers said as they undressed.

"It's just right, the master has changed people and waiters, and you have been running with others for half a year, and you only have this ability...... Damn, what do people have, and the lord gave you something too, two fools! ”

Lei Da Lei smiled and grinned, not at all frightened or angry by the old man's scolding, Lin Heshen and He Yu found at this time that this old man didn't seem to have any other intentions for the two of them.

"Xiao Zhang, give these two boys a little more food, look at their appearance, starving ghosts are reincarnated." The fat man said again.

"Sir, we ...... We don't have any money. Lin Heshen knelt down and kowtowed.

"The lord rewards you with food, naturally you don't need money!" That thunder trail.

"That's it, you remember the reputation of our master, our master's surname is Lei, and the big number is Jiuxiao, and he is a big proprietor who is not for boiling!"

"Nothing to boil?"

"Haha, these two boys don't know my property from their appearances, what's the use of bragging to him?" Lei Jiuxiao smiled: "Speaking of which, when I sold stewed stew at this ferry, my lord......

Lei Da Lei's small eyes and eyebrows were all squeezed together, obviously not interested in Lei Jiuxiao's boasting about the past. But Lei Jiuxiao shook his head and said, but they couldn't help but listen, while Lin Heshen heard a piece of news that made his eyes light up.

"Master, Master Lei, you just said that it was Wuwei Young Tiger Yu Gongzi who instructed you to make the stew?"

"Exactly, the world only knows that Yu Gongzi is a star descended to earth, but they don't know that he is also the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and he will give some guidance to this master at will, and this master will be developed......"

"Master Lei must be a common Yu Gongzi?" Lin Heshen asked again.

"Ah...... Haha, of course, of course, if Master Ben and Master Yu are not close, how can he guide Master Ben? ”

"Brother Villain begs Master Lei for one thing, intercede with Gongzi Yu, and let Brother Villain give him the housekeeper!" Lin River Deep Road.

This request immediately made Lei Jiuxiao stunned.

"This, this, this...... You kid is only a few pounds and a few taels, and you want to go to the house for the Wuwei Tiger Cub? Lei Jiuxiao pointed at Lei Da and Lei Xiao: "Look at my two nephews, no, they have been practicing with the Wuwei Young Tiger's family for half a year, and now they are still so unproductive, not qualified to join the Tiger Guard." You two big boys, let's go home honestly for two years. ”

"Our father and mother were killed by the rogue, we want to give Yu Gongzi the head of the house and kill the rogue!"

The children's words were straightforward, but they made Lei Jiuxiao stunned again.

At this time in Nanjing, Yu Guozhen did not know that there were hundreds of children and teenagers, perhaps to avenge their relatives, or perhaps because of the worship of heroes, and were trying to go to Xiang'an.

He and Song Yingxing and Wan Shihua are talking about it: "What Mr. Chang Gung said is that the wealth of the world is not gold and silver, not copper coins, and not banknotes. The wealth of the world is the crops in the fields, the fishing shrimp in the water, the ore in the mountains, and the mulberry hemp in the plains! It is only between heaven and earth, and cannot be obtained by human beings......"

What Yu Guozhen said was actually Song Yingxing's "Wild Discussion? The ideas in The Theory of Civil Finance have been deepened to bring them closer to Adam? Smith's Wealth of Nations. He believed that labor creates wealth, and money is only a measure of wealth and a means to assist the circulation of wealth, but not wealth itself!

In this case, if we want to make the country strong and the people rich, we should not rely on how much gold and silver we collect, but on the opportunity to create labor. In order to increase the opportunities for labor, it is necessary to revitalize the industry and invent tools. Song Yingxing's book "Heavenly Creation" was originally for this purpose, hoping to use this book to give the poor people in the world a way to get rich.

This point coincides with Yu Guozhen's "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous".

Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen changed the topic, and a smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Chang Gung has this idea, but unfortunately, there is no place to prove it." ”

Song Yingxing glanced at him and laughed.

He is not stupid, what Yu Guozhen will say next, he can guess seven or eight.

"Mr. Chang Geng, Mr. Mao Sheng, Yuwan's surname is Geng Jie, and he doesn't go around in circles, so he says it directly." Yu Guozhen arched his hand and said: "Yuwan has a small industry in Qin' Prefecture, if the two gentlemen are interested, they can go to Qin' Prefecture and Hoi An to conduct research and complete these high theories of Mr. Chang Geng." If it can be successful, the value of the country and the people is definitely not under Dong Sheng! ”

The Dong Sheng in Yu Guozhen's mouth is Dong Zhongshu.

For Confucianism, Dong Zhongshu was a crucial figure, and in a way, he was even more important than Confucius and Mencius. Because through his efforts, he sanctified Confucianism and made it a true ruling ideology.

The deposition of Confucianism by the Hundred Schools of Thought made Confucianism gain the support of the rulers, and also made the concept of great unification deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Song Yingxing and Wan Shihua glanced at each other, and they were both a little surprised.

Yu Guozhen invited them, but the name was neither to ask them to help nor to appoint positions, but to ask them to conduct "research", what is this "research"?

"Jimin, what is this survey referring to?"

That is, the meaning of investigation and research, today's Confucian scholars, there are many people with empty mouths and white teeth, and there are many people who look for chapters and sentences in the pile of old papers, but there are few people who do practical things. These are all pseudo-Confucians, not true Confucians. Therefore, Yuwan intends to fund some true Confucians, research and practice, and write conclusions, so as to learn from those who govern. When Yu Guozhen said this, he smiled at the two of them and said: "The second prince is highly talented, and he will definitely be of great use to the imperial court in the future. ”

He is a careful person, and he talked with Song Yingxing and Wan Shihua for two days, and he also has an understanding of their psychology. Wan Shihua is destitute and needs to find a job that can help him support his family. But this person is a little lonely and angry, and he is really not a suitable candidate for a pro-people official. If he really wants to appoint him to do things, he will inevitably want to monopolize power, which is not in line with Yu Guozhen's original intention. And Song Yingxing is more interested in his practical learning, and he already has the position of Yixian Teacher, and he will not go to him when he is idle.

In this case, tempt them with the position that best suits the temperament of a literati like them: researchers.

If they can sum up a set of rules from the development of Xinxiang and Hoi An, Yu Guozhen can compile them into teaching materials and train a group of grassroots officials by himself. If they can't do this, then they will only raise two idlers, with Yu Guozhen's strength, even if they raise two hundred, it will not be a problem.

Sure enough, Song Yingxing and Wan Shihua were both thrilled after hearing this.

This research is more like a guest secretary, who is not entangled in annoying affairs, but also noble and prominent, at least in their opinion, it is no different from the Hanlin in the imperial court, they are all writing articles.

"If the two of you are interested, you can go south with me in March, and on February 18, you will get married in a foolish night, and you will be asked to stay for a while to drink this cup of wine!" Yu Guozhen said again.

"That being the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Song Yingxing and Wan Shihua glanced at each other, they had heard a lot of things about Xinxiang from Yu Guozhen in the past two days, and they also wanted to take a look at what it looked like in Yu Guozhen's mouth and Song Yingxing's planning.

If you invite them directly to Hoi An, they will still be a little hesitant, but Qin' Zhou, that is also within the borders of the Ming Dynasty!
