Chapter 21 Careful Arrangement

(Thank you for your great support from our readers.) )

Su Tiancheng has always been puzzled about the origin of the old man, and if the old man doesn't say it, he will never ask. The old man's performance has always been very mysterious, and he seems to know his affairs, including his own killing of the sergeant, the old man once asked, and said the words "The big husband stands in the world, he should be jealous and hateful, support justice, and do something and do nothing", and when he encountered danger in the horse market, the old man came forward, and those previous actions seemed to be testing himself.

The tenants of Su Mansion got seeds, grain and coarse salt, and at this time, the old man appeared again, which is definitely not a coincidence, there must be a reason in it.

"What the old man said is that the younger generation does have consideration......

Su Tiancheng didn't hide it, he told all his thoughts, anyway, if he didn't say these things, it would happen in the future, if the old man had a heart, sooner or later he would know the way.

While Su Tiancheng was speaking, the old man didn't speak, and listened very carefully.

"Have courage, the old beggar has two things, I don't understand it very well, I want to ask my son for advice."

"What's wrong with the old man, just say it, the younger generation knows everything and says everything."

"Hehe, not really, this first question, Su Gongzi stays at home, he has always been studying in the house, he is a student at the age of seventeen, this is not simple, how do you know that the maize is good, and the sweet potato, according to the old beggar Zhilang, this sweet potato has not been promoted in the north, just say that the maize, the yield has not been good, the son gave up planting spring wheat for the sake of the maize, and instead sowed the maize, if the tenant harvest is less, I don't know how to deal with the maize."

"This second question, the scale of transporting more than 500 stone sweet potato seeds from Fuzhou, Fujian Province is not small, I don't know if there is any good way for the prince of Lu Dao to transport sweet potato seeds."

Su Tiancheng was secretly surprised, the old man was really not simple.

"Although the younger generation often reads at home, but also cares about the outside things, the father is in business, often talk about some business things, the younger generation pays attention, so I know that the maize and sweet potato, want to try to plant, if it can be successful, it is also for the tenants of the family to do good things, as for the yield of things, the younger generation has not thought of so much for the time being, as long as this season's winter wheat can be planted well, next year's problem is not very big."

"As for the transportation of sweet potatoes, these days, the younger generations have been thinking about it, and it is really impossible to think of a good way, so it can only be to look at the will of God."

"Hehe, Childe is also refreshing to speak, the old beggar has seen a lot of things, when talking with Childe, there are always some strange feelings, Childe is only seventeen years old, has not yet started a family, but he can talk and do things old, and his age is very inconsistent, Childe is a child of Sufu, he has suffered some hardships, and he may not have a comprehension."

Su Tiancheng looked at the old man and stopped talking, if he said too much, he would lose it, and there were some things that he couldn't explain.

"Speaking of this transportation matter, the old beggar has a few friends who can help, but this reward cannot be less, I don't know if the young man of Lu Dao needs it."

"The younger generation is worried, the old man is sending charcoal in the snow, the younger generation is grateful, everything is according to the old man's meaning."

"Well, this trip to Fujian, the round trip time is not short, although there are only five hundred stone sweet potato seeds, the old beggar means, just give a hundred taels of silver."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Su Tiancheng with a blazing eye, the freight of one hundred taels of silver is a lot, and ordinary farmers can maintain their lives for many years.

"According to the uncle's arrangement, the freight of one hundred taels of silver, but the time is a little urgent, and the younger generation's idea, the sooner you set off, the better."

"Hehe, Childe trusts the old beggar so much, the old beggar also has to talk about credibility, this one hundred taels of silver freight, ordinary people are reluctant to take it out, Childe is refreshing, the old beggar said here today, if the sweet potato seeds are transported, there is a loss, three times the freight compensation."

Seeing that Su Tiancheng was about to continue speaking, the old man waved his hand.

"Childe doesn't need to say much, doing business is about reputation, but the old man also has a few words, and I hope Childe can listen to it."

Seeing Su Tiancheng's sincere attitude, the old man spoke.

"The old beggar knows that Su Mansion is the home of merchants in Pingyang Mansion, Ling Zun is very good at doing business, and the Su family is also a wealthy family in Pingyang Mansion, and Ling Zun moved to Taiyuan Mansion City, which is the best proof that Gongzi takes into account the suffering of tenants and plans for businessmen, and it cannot be said that there is any problem, but Gongzi is a student of Pingyang Mansion, after all, he is a scholar, and it is not appropriate to put the cart before the horse."

Su Tiancheng was a little helpless, this business is a righteous and bright thing, there are too many taboos in the Ming Dynasty, and scholars will never be able to do business, which will become a stain on life, and the responsibility of scholars is to ignore things outside the window and only read sage books, unless you don't want to be a reader.

The old man's words were actually a reminder to Su Tiancheng not to become a businessman, which was a good intention.

"The younger generation understands that the younger generation means that they are not thinking about doing business, and the younger generation must participate in the township examination next year."

"Childe can think so. The old beggar is happy. ”

Su Pingyang came in and said that the banquet had been prepared.

Su Tiancheng still accompanied the old man and went to the hall respectfully, and the wine banquet was placed in the hall.

The old man was not polite, sat at the top, and Su Tiancheng accompanied the bottom, personally holding the pot and pouring wine for the old man.

"Su Gongzi, the transportation problem just mentioned, the old beggar looks, according to the time you said, set off on November 10, according to the old beggar's expectations, you can arrive in Fuzhou, Fujian in early December, the old beggar has a talisman here, Su Fu went to Fuzhou, with this talisman, after arriving in Fuzhou, according to the address said by the old beggar, go directly to contact, you can, buy sweet potato seeds, a few friends of the old beggar, can also help handle."

"Xie Lu Xie uncle, the younger generation respects the old man with a glass of wine."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Master Su, the old beggar can't see it, you drink very well, when you were in Xiangling County, you actually drunk the old beggar, it's not simple, it's not simple, it's a young man."

Su Tiancheng had a smile on his face, he didn't speak, just kidding, before the crossing, he didn't know how many drinking games Lu Dao had dealt with, this drinking thing was simply pediatric, and at that time, all he drank was high alcohol, and today's liquor, when he drank it in his mouth, was soft and soft, and it didn't mean much.

The old man was also refreshed, and after eating, he got up and said goodbye, regardless of how Su Tiancheng retained.

After the old man left, Su Tiancheng took out the talisman and looked at it carefully, this is a very ordinary looking talisman, it feels a little heavy, cold and cold, there are some animal-shaped patterns engraved on it, both front and back, but there are no words, the square four sides, the polishing is very good, it is not a handy at all, look at the weight, it should be made of copper.

When the old man left, he specially entrusted, this talisman can never be lost, after arriving in Fuzhou, according to the address, hand over the talisman to Lu, after explaining the matter, someone will naturally arrange everything. Moreover, the talisman must not be seen by others, and when it is handed over to the person who goes to Fuzhou, it must also be packed in a wooden box, and a seal is affixed on it, and it is not allowed to be opened.

Su Tiancheng knew that this talisman was not simple.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Ministry of Industry to make a treasure gold medal and a militaristic call horse talisman, with a total of two treasure gold medals, respectively by the cabinet, the Governor's Office collection, used when the army was dispatched, the horse talisman was divided into two kinds of gold and silver, provided to the military ministers outside to carry with them, as evidence. There are two crosses written by Zhu Yuanzhang on the horse talisman: God bless the people, I am the rate of care, and it is really based on Hu Chen, giving the golden talisman, and giving it after passing it on forever.

The Ming Dynasty is the embodiment of typical centralized politics, the status of the Beijing officials is respected, and the prestige of the emperor is supreme.

Later, when Zhu Di was the emperor, Jinyiwei also made talismans to mark his identity and show his authority.

What kind of identity does the talisman given by the old man indicate, Su Tiancheng doesn't know for the time being, this is definitely not a treasure gold medal, there is no inscription on it.

Could it be that it is a talisman used by the Jinyi Guard?

Thinking of this, Su Tiancheng was a little nervous, the Jinyi Wei recorded in the history books was arranged all over the country with eyes and ears, and he knew everything big and small, and the Jinyi Wei did all kinds of evil, and there didn't seem to be a good person.

Could it be that the old man is a member of the Jinyi Guard?
