Chapter 23 The First Pot of Gold Plan
Su Ze waved his hand, "She only told me that she was going to a far away place to do one thing, and didn't say anything else, but judging from her expression when she spoke, it shouldn't be easy to do." ”
Lin Xishui suddenly thought of the Lin family mentioned in the letter, "Brother Su, do you know the Lin family?" ”
"The Lin family?" Su Ze touched his chin, lowered his head in contemplation, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I've never heard of it, as far as I know, there is no one surnamed Lin among the important ministers of the imperial court, why are you suddenly asking this?" ”
Seeing that he couldn't get useful information from his mouth, Lin Xishui didn't continue to ask.
Anyway, Lin Jiayao has already left, and he doesn't have to go for food first, for the sake of today, he must find an opportunity to earn the first pot of gold in the Great Cloud Dynasty as soon as possible.
"Brother Su, can you lend me some silver?"
Su Ze was stunned, according to his original idea, this guy should be in a bad mood, and then go out to drink, maybe he can also take advantage of him to get drunk and blow up a few peerless poems, never expected that he would borrow money from himself.
"What do you want the silver for?"
When Lin Xishui first sold Wang Fangyi's poems, he once drank the wine of the Dayun Dynasty in the restaurant, which was some rice wine or rice wine with a low degree.
As long as you brew a liquor with a high degree, I believe that it will definitely become popular in the Great Cloud Dynasty, and the silver of the white flowers will come?
"I say it's for the benefit of mankind, do you believe it?"
Su Ze rolled his eyes, the reason why he agreed to Lin Jiayao's request to come over to persuade him was mainly to make friends with Lin Xishui.
He has a very poisonous eye for people, and from what he has experienced in the Wang landlord's family, it can be seen that this guy is talented, courageous, and definitely a talent that can be cultivated.
But that doesn't mean he's going to lend him the money, "I haven't eaten in the morning, why don't you go eat some together?" ”
Damn, this is obviously not believing Lao Tzu, "It's really for the benefit of mankind, because I know a way to make wine that is higher than all the alcohol on the market." ”
"Really, how tall is it?" Su Ze asked with a look of disbelief.
Lin Xishui raised three fingers, "I don't know how high, but I can guarantee that you won't be able to drink three bowls!" ”
"How much silver do you want to borrow?"
Lin Xishui recalled the production process of modern liquor, as if to get the liquor out, it is necessary to use distillation technology to heat the liquor, and then form water vapor, and the water vapor is condensed into water, which is almost liquor.
This requires at least a large iron pot and distilled things, and Da Yunchao definitely didn't use these tools, so he had to find someone to make them.
Counting the purchase of wine, pots and customization of various tools, a hundred taels of silver should be about the same.
"You can lend me a hundred taels first, it's not enough to say."
"What?" Su Ze couldn't believe his ears, his father's annual salary was only one hundred and sixty taels, but Lin Xishui's mouth was one hundred taels, which was not enough to say that it was really a lion's mouth.
Let's not talk about the silver first, if his family has been making wine for generations, there is still a certain degree of credibility, but this guy is a civilian, I guess he can't understand the wine, and he still makes wine?
It's like a person majoring in history, holding a book in his hand, running to an angel investor, saying that this smartphone I produced must be a punch to Apple, a kick to Samsung, and change the world, anyway, you should hurry up and invest money in me.
In Su Ze's eyes, Lin Xishui wrote three big characters on his forehead, which is unreliable!
"I'm sorry, Brother Lin, I originally had ten taels of silver, but my sister borrowed it, and now I am penniless."
"That's it!" Lin Xishui also asked casually, one hundred taels is not a small amount, if Su Ze can lend it to him, it will surprise him.
"By the way, Brother Lin, although I don't have any silver in my pocket, maybe someone will give you this silver."
"Is that your sister?" Lin Xishui scratched her head, "What's her name, where is she now, I'll go find her!" ”
"You wait!" Su Ze grabbed his arm, "How can my sister give out money, all her money is used for charity and poetry." ”
Lin Xishui was stunned when he heard this, and a name appeared in his mind, "Could it be that the good woman in Luoyang, the famous talented woman Su Ke, is your sister?" ”
mentioned his sister, Su Ze showed a wry smile, "Yes, it's her." ”
Su Ke, this name is the goddess in the minds of all Luoyang talents, not only is she fresh and refined, but she is also brilliant.
But in the hearts of the people of Luoyang, she is a character with a bodhisattva's heart, and her reputation is so high that even many government officials can't compare.
If it can be democratically elected, Su Ke will definitely be unanimously elected as the prefect of Luoyang.
The reason why she can have such a high reputation is inseparable from the fact that she usually does good deeds.
And the most influential of the good deeds is the act of donating a house to build a school.
At the beginning, Su Ze's father, Governor Su, bought a good land in Luoyang City with lush vegetation and surrounded by streams.
Originally, Governor Su wanted to build his own house here. When the house was built, he invited a feng shui gentleman, who probed and praised the good feng shui here, saying that if he lived here for a long time, "he would be born a minister", which means that the Su family can live here for generations to produce high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Governor Su was very happy, but after Su Ke knew about this matter, he came to persuade his father, saying that their Su family was already very noble, why should they enjoy the wealth here, it is better to let everyone from all over the world come here to study, wouldn't this be able to produce more nobles?
Governor Su didn't agree at first, after all, he bought this mansion with real money, how could he give it up easily?
But he couldn't help his daughter Su Ke's persuasion every day, and finally gave up the premises and asked the imperial court to approve the establishment of the Luoyang School, in order to cultivate more talents.
In recognition of Su Ke's persuasion, the imperial court granted her the status of teaching in Luoyang Academy, becoming the first female gentleman in the Dayun Dynasty.
After Su Ke became a gentleman, she treated the poor children of the school not only from tuition, but even the cost of books by her.
This incident had a great impact in Luoyang and even the whole country, so much so that many officials in other cities followed suit.
The reason why Su Ze smiled bitterly was because his sister's monthly expenses were too large, and if it weren't for his father being the governor, it is estimated that she would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.
Regarding Su Ke, although Lin Xishui only heard a lot of rumors, after Su Ze reminded him of this, the deeds of this talented woman suddenly appeared in his mind.
Su Ze's sister turned out to be a female philanthropist, a profession that was really rare in ancient times.
Although he didn't quite believe that the donation hall was really the result of Su Ke's persuasion, Lin Xishui still had a trace of interest in her.
Pulling back his thoughts, Lin Xishui scratched his head and returned to the topic just now, "You said that someone would give me this money, who is this person?" ”
"The shopkeeper of Chu who puts food first, she happens to open a restaurant, I heard that you have been admitted to food first, isn't this just killing two birds with one stone! Hey, what are you running? ”
How could Lin Xishui not run, Chu Shuangshuang had a bad impression of him, and he was late, how could he ask her for silver...
