Shanyang County, Juye County. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Juye is located in Yanzhou, not a prosperous county, but there are thousands of people, the city gate is opened early in the morning, and the flow of people in and out is endless.

Xie Xun didn't know the road himself, so he followed the flow of people into the city, and soon turned around the county seat. Compared with the urban planning of later generations, the planning of Fang City in Juye County is actually more rigorous, and only the eastern and western cities allow commercial trading.

Naturally, this has become the most lively place in Juye County.

"Most of the rice is weighed in stone, and now the price of one stone of rice in Juye is close to 300 yuan. One stone and ten buckets, one bucket and ten liters, according to the measurement unit of the Han Dynasty, one liter of rice is more than one catty, but it costs two or three five baht coins. ”

"Pork is more expensive, the price of a stone of rice, at most, can only buy less than ten catties, a catty costs about 30 yuan. I just haven't seen cattle and horses sold, and the estimated price is only high. ”

"The cloth shop I visited just now is cheap, but this is the abnormal place, the whole price control feels messy, especially a few horses of Shu brocade in the general treasure of the town store, the price is really high and scared to death, enough to buy a few stones of rice."

Sitting by the window on the second floor of a restaurant in Dongshi, Xie Xun calculated the harvest of his shopping for an hour just now, which can only be said to be a mixed blessing.

The chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty can find a clue from these prices.

As a liberal arts student, Xie Xun knows some ancient grain prices, and the normal grain price of the Han Dynasty should not exceed 100 yuan per stone, and pork will not be sold for thousands of yuan.

It seems that the price of food has risen, and it seems that farmers who farm the land can make a lot of money, but in fact this account is not calculated in this way. At the end of the Han Dynasty, land annexation was serious, and there were not many farmers who really had land in their hands, and even if they had land in their hands, they would only have dozens of acres of land at most, leaving them to eat and pay taxes, and there was actually not much surplus grain left.

The real vested interests of the rise in grain prices will only be those families who have annexed hundreds of acres or even thousands of acres of land, well, in the Han Dynasty, families who have land and can afford to read without working are generally called scholars.

"In this era where whoever owns the land is the uncle, who is against the people?" Muttering softly in his mouth, Xie Xun ordered some food, and it was almost an hour since he left the village to just now, and his belly had already begun to protest.

Tear off a chicken leg and stuff it into his mouth, although the taste is lacking, but he can't stand Xie Xun is really hungry, chew two bites and swallow it directly and then eat the second bite, I don't know how delicious the roast chicken in this restaurant is.

Two side dishes, a roast chicken, and fragrant rice and tea, this breakfast and lunch Xie Xun ate quite comfortably, if it wasn't for a small guy ten meters away staring at him from time to time, it would be even better.

Of course, Xie Xun also knew that he was not dressed well, and it was understandable that he would be stared at by the people in the hotel, but it was okay that others didn't disturb him to eat, and after a full lunch, Xie Xun immediately beckoned to the little guy:

"Come here."

"Eh, eh, this little brother still has orders?" The little guy trotted over honestly, and didn't say that he was afraid that Xie Xun would eat white food, but just asked if there was anything else.

If so, of course.

If not, you should have paid the bill.

"You guy, forget it, please come to your master's house." Xie Xun shook his head a little funny, took out the gold cake from his sleeve, and put it on the desk:

"It's not up to you to call the shots, let's go."

"Little brother, what are you?"

In the end, he was in the hotel in the county, and he knew a lot more than Xie Xiaoniang, and when he saw Xie Xun take out the gold cake, he almost recognized what it was.

Oh gold!

And it's such a big chunk!

His cheeks twitched, as if he was ashamed of guarding against Xie Xun like a thief before, and then immediately nodded: "I'll ask us to take care of things." ”

The little guy left in a hurry and came back quickly.

And with the little guy coming back, there was another hurried footstep.

"That's it, little brother."

A middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, under the guidance of the little servant, quickly noticed Xie Xun and the touch of gold pressed by Xie Xun's right hand.

A few steps forward to lean against the desk, the sallow middle-aged man arched his hands: "In Xia Huangjiu, I am the manager of the restaurant here, dare to ask this little brother, what does today's action mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, Huang Guan doesn't have to worry about it, it's just that there are some things I want to trouble you." Xie Xun smiled when he heard this, and picked up the golden cake again: "In addition, I can also send a secret recipe for the steward for free, a secret recipe that can earn thousands of riches." ”

Something to trouble me?

The secret ingredient to making money?

Seeing Xie Xun's troubled appearance, the yellow steward with a sallow face only hesitated slightly, and then spoke: "Then the little brother might as well move, let's go to the back hall to talk." ”

Although each room on the second floor is covered by a wooden screen, Xie Xun is not the only diner.

Steward Huang didn't believe that Xie Xun really had the ability to turn stone into gold, but for the sake of that piece of gold cake, he also wanted to hear what Xie Xun was going to do.

The two moved to the back hall, and there was no one around them, but Xie Xun didn't say anything about how to make money, but just asked a question that made Huang Guan scratch his head.

"How much do the pigs that Dahan raises now?"

Steward Huang is the person in charge of the restaurant, this question is of course not difficult to answer, but he is not sure what Xie Xun means at all now, and looks at the young man in front of him with some strangeness:

"Generally, the domestic ones are about 12 catties, what the little brother wants to say is not to sell pork to me, right?"

"I don't have pork to sell you, but I have a secret recipe that can make a pig with only 100 catties grow another 100 catties of meat, maybe more than that." Xie Xun smiled a little mysteriously, and said with temptation: "This is not as simple as one pig equaling two pigs, I guess the steward should understand." ”

Doubling the weight of a pig?

A hundred catties of pigs can raise two hundred catties?

has been dealing with restaurants for most of his life, and it is not once or twice that he buys pork by himself or his subordinates, but he has never even heard of what Xie Xun said.

At least in this small Juye County, it seems that there has never been even a two-hundred-pound pig.

Is the boy in front of him joking? Or is it true?

Seeing the heartbeat and concerns of the steward in front of him, Xie Xun added another fire: "Don't be suspicious about the steward, the method I said will definitely work, and it won't be too troublesome for me to worship the steward." I heard that the restaurant here is the property of the He family in Juye, and the He family has quite a land mansion in Juye County, and I want to help me ask if there is a house or Zhuangzi on the hilly mountain west of the county, which should be more secluded. If so, I'd like to buy one from He's house to use. ”

Buy Zhuangzi?

looked at Xie Xun again, and the golden cake in his hand, Steward Huang's eyes narrowed slightly.

What a cunning boy, this is a temptation!

But he still said something high-sounding, and gave me a secret recipe for free.

I felt that this matter was really interesting in my heart, and it was not too big a deal to sell a rural village, so Steward Huang smiled: "This little brother is in a hurry, I know from the side of Xiaoqiu Mountain that my lord does have an idle house, this matter is not difficult to do, just wait for me to return to the lord." ”
