A few pieces of broken iron, a few pieces of hemp paper, and so easily earned a silver or two.

It's so easy to make money, even Chen Ping didn't expect it. However, the officials in this county are too fat. People are stupid and have a lot of money?

"Wearing little shoes?" Chen Yuanliang asked.

"If you were given Xiao Anzi's shoes to wear, would you be able to wear them?" Chen Ping explained, this is not the first time, every time there are words that do not exist in this era, there are still some worries before, and it doesn't matter if everyone cares carelessly.

"I can't wear it." Chen Yuanliang asked and answered himself.

"But if you have to wear it, your feet will definitely be uncomfortable, right? Even the toes had to be shaved off to fit into Anzi's shoes. Chen Ping is quite proficient in explaining such a term, and a simple metaphor can make people understand very well, "This is wearing small shoes." ”

Listening to Chen Ping's explanation, Chen Yuanliang suddenly realized and said: "This is interesting, I don't know where you heard it, it's very appropriate." ”

"But you don't have to worry about that, the two of them already have a disagreement." Chen Yuanliang is not a reckless person, he is very clear about the interpersonal relationship in the county government, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the two words of grandfather are not called in vain, "This time the fire sickle is just a reason, but in fact, the two of them have a suspicion before." ”

Chen Ping thought to himself, with the same fire sickle, the county Cheng spent thousands of dollars, and the main book only spent five hundred wen, so it seems that the main book has an advantage.

"This snake is really powerful." Chen Ping thought to himself.

In the Sui system, the county is the ninth grade, and the grade looks small, but it is actually quite rare, and it is hopeless for ordinary people to be a county Cheng. Those who lack family resources and rely on their own talents to learn the scriptures and the first are mostly used as interpreters.

As for the county master book, they both belong to the county officials, but they are too separated by the county in terms of grade, and they have not yet entered the stream, and they are only foreign officials. The flow inside and outside is not just a word, but a mountain, which most people will find difficult to climb over in their lifetime.

"What's the origin of this master book?" Chen Ping asked.

In the third year of the emperor's reign, Yang Jian issued an edict stipulating that the assassin history and the county order should be transferred every three years, and the adjutant should be transferred every four years. Both the county clerk and the chief registrar are considered adjutants, but they are very different when it comes to implementing this policy.

The county is transferred every four years, and when he goes to the next office, he has to go through the election of the officials, and most of them will not continue to stay in the previous county after the election, of course, it is not impossible to stay in office, but the conditions are relatively special.

As for the main book, the transfer seems to be more casual, carried out in this county, and there is no such thing as selection, and it is not impossible that it will not change for many years.

Compared with the two, the foundation of the main book in the county will be stronger than that of outsiders, and it is possible to be forced out before the term of office is even encountered by those who are cunning and arrogant, not to mention the county officials, and even the county order.

"It is a wealthy family in Shangtu Village, from the former Chen to the present, three generations of the family have been operating in this place." Chen Yuanliang saw that Chen Ping was interested, so he told him that it was not a secret, "There are quite assets in the county, hostels, restaurants, rice shops are operated, and there is a porcelain kiln, and the family has a lot of money. ”

"Can you have a Ming Jing or a talent at home?" Chen Ping asked.

Chen Yuanliang rolled his eyes, and said with half sour and half disdain: "Do you think that Ming Jingxiu is so worthless?" Even if you have money, you can't get it, you want to learn from the truth. ”

"Just ask, I'm not looking at Brother Yuanliang, you don't seem to have a good impression of him. Care about it. Chen Ping said with a smile.

"Well, that's okay, I'm not the only one in the county who is dissatisfied with him, and the county is fighting with him, I can't rush forward, right?" Chen Yuanliang said, and then looked at Chen Ping suspiciously, "Why are you so concerned about the affairs of the county government?" ”

"Something to do with the fire sickle, it's definitely something to pay attention to." Chen Ping plans to make a fortune in this ** county, just like the county officials and the township elders want to understand, but there is no need to say too much about the calculations inside, "Brother Yuanliang, you came out on purpose to avoid my grandmother, so that you can give me the silver, right?" ”

Coming out to see that the village is fake, you don't have to come out to discuss the matter of the fire sickle, only this silver, Chen Yuanliang must be worried about being seen by his grandmother, so he took out the silver in this no-man's land.

"Isn't it all for your own good?" Chen Yuanliang said, "I have already divided this silver, the amount of each is not much different, one is six baht, you take four, I take two, is there a problem?" ”

Twenty-four baht is one tael, and four is one tael, which is more than the good six-four points discussed at the uncle's house before.

Chen Ping shook his head and only took three pieces of silver: "I'll take three, and the rest will return to Brother Yuanliang, we agreed before." ”

"I said that you were six and I were four, and the money from the sale of the toothbrush was not given to you, which I have already taken advantage of." From the point of view of his heart, Chen Yuanliang thinks that he has taken advantage of the share of June Fourth, after all, he has not contributed much, and the one who uses the money is to invite the county lieutenant to dinner, but it is difficult to say whether it is a profit or a loss.

Chen Ping put the silver into his pocket and said, "You can't change what you say is good, and besides, Brother Yuanliang, it costs you money to run back and forth." This time when you come to Baitu Village, won't your income be gone? Besides, the toothbrush is already priced at a low price, and even if it were all sold, it wouldn't be much money. ”

I made more than a dozen toothbrushes, one for each of the five of my family, two for Chen Ya, and then one for Chen Erniu. There are less than ten toothbrushes left in the uncle's grocery store for consignment, and a handful is priced at fifteen yuan, and all of them are sold out, which is one hundred and fifty yuan.

Chen Yuanliang smiled and put the money in the bag, although it was a matter of more than 200 yuan, but seeing Chen Ping doing this, his heart was very stable and comfortable.

"I don't get much money from those earnings, and I can earn it back by selling a few more fire sickles." Helping idle is not for nothing, there is no other money to take, Chen Yuanliang will definitely not do it, everyone knows this, Chen Yuanliang did not take Chen Ping's ridicule to heart, "The reason why I don't show this money in front of my second uncle and aunt is to take care of you, if you want to hand it over, no one knows." ”

"And your toothbrush, it looks good, and there are a lot of people who ask, but I didn't buy a few, and only sold five, and there is one of mine." Chen Yuanliang said again, "I think you should not get that toothbrush and concentrate on making a fire sickle." ”

Five handfuls, half of the amount, Chen Ping was a little surprised, thinking that this toothbrush is a convenient tool for cleaning the mouth after all, and it will definitely be sold out as soon as it appears.

"Well, don't worry, the toothbrush is still there, and it won't take up much space anyway." Chen Ping thought about it and felt that it might have something to do with the habits of the ancients, and it was only a few days of work, so he was not in a hurry, "The fire sickle is simple, what is lacking now is just paper, and I am prepared for the rest." ”

"I knew you would be short of paper, so I brought some over and kept it for my second aunt." Chen Yuanliang said, "Shouldn't the price of this fire sickle be raised?" ”

The original price was 100 Wen, but in the end it was sold for 1,000 Wen and 500 Wen, although there is an element of the fighting spirit of the county master's book, but the value of the fire sickle is also there.

The two walked back, and the idea of packaging the fire sickle was thought up by Chen Ping, and the matter above the price had to be discussed with him.

"No, it's still the same price." Chen Ping replied and said, "There are two reasons why we can sell at such a high price this time. One is that the county seat and the main book do not match, and the two are angry. The second is the packaging, but this is no longer worth much after the fire sickle is sold. ”

"It's not a hassle to pack the fire sickle, Brother Yuan Liang, you also said that the master has an industry in his family, do you think he will do nothing with the fire sickle he bought with the money, just hang it on his waist for decoration, or use it to make a fire?"

Passing by the courtyard gate in front of the old willow tree, the crack in the door opened, and a black dog's head was exposed, and on it, a delicate little face looked over.

Chen Ping turned his head, nodded at it, and grinned, Chen Ya immediately retracted his neck, Chen Ping turned around and continued to say to Chen Yuanliang: "This obviously won't be, the fire sickle is not difficult to make, and the fire folding is also simple." I believe that the same fire sickle will be sold in the county soon, and it will not be good to raise the price at this time. ”

Chen Ping's words, Chen Yuanliang agreed, but he didn't think of these before, and now listening to Chen Ping's statements one by one, they are clearly organized and reasonable, could it be that Chen Ping had already considered this situation before this?

"But even if it's sold, it's popular. If we don't raise the price, others will do it. Chen Yuanliang said, "If you don't make more money now, even if you want to make it in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

"It's because you want to make more money that you can't raise the price." When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Liu Shizheng looked inside, the dining table in the hall was set up, and the dishes were served, Chen Ping said, "This fire sickle will have to be earned in the future, Brother Yuanliang is right to listen to me." ”

Chen Yuanliang nodded and didn't say anything more.

The two of them went to the table, and there were two more dishes on the table, one was woong, which was the cabbage of later generations, but it was a loose leaf type, and the other was callus white, which Chen Ping's hometown in his previous life called Gao Bao.

"Don't go back tonight, squeeze with them, and leave tomorrow morning." Chen's father was eating, the two new dishes were still bought from the village, and it was not easy for his nephew to come here, the food could not be too bad, the salt was enough, and there was even a pig the size of a fingernail in the white coat

Oil.

The food seemed to be very appetizing, Chen Yuanliang chewed hard, and scooped a bowl of soup: "No, I came by ox cart, and I have already agreed with that person, he will come later." I'll just sit on it and go, it won't be long. ”

"Mother, I'll go to the county with Brother Yuanliang." Chen Pingdao.

The white is good, if it is used for stir-frying, it is more delicious, tender and refreshing, Chen Ping scooped up two pieces of white and ate the meal.

It was a little salty, Chen Ping didn't waste this salt, and stirred it twice in the bowl, bibimbap.

"What are you going to do with it? Yuanliang still has business to do. Chen's father said, "Stay at home and help me repair the roof." ”

"It's okay, it's done before I came. When the time comes, the elder will come to register, and the second uncle will just tell the truth. Chen Yuanliang said, "Let Chen Ping go with me, I just need his help with something." ”
