Five hundred wen is ten, one year old is twelve, this has to be ......

Xue Wang fiddled with his fingers and counted for a long time, but did not come to a conclusion.

"You can get six thousand dollars a year old." Six thousand yuan, converted into silver, is almost six taels, Chen Ping thinks it is worth it.

Xue Wang's mouth opened wide in shock: "Six thousand dollars, this is a lot, it is true, it is really ......"

This is only one year old, and there will be additions every ten years in the future, and it sounds like fifty wen will be added in ten years. So this ...... The number of fifty wen is small, Xue Wang clenched his fists, and fifty and fifty were added, and Chen Ping stood aside without urging.

After a long time, he asked Chen Ping to borrow two fingers, and Xue Wang calculated: "Six hundred wen, you can add another six hundred wen per year." ”

"Yes, that's good." Chen Ping nodded, "What do you think?" ”

"You really didn't lie to me?" Xue Wang is willing, with the money, the dowry will be settled, and the extra money can be used to repair the house.

"You've been to my house and know where it is. I am blinded by you, even though you are looking for me at home. Chen Ping smiled and pointed to the ten taels of silver that Xue Wang was still holding in his hand, "Can this silver be fake?" ”

The silver was real, and Xue Wang just asked casually, mainly because he was too shocked. At this time, he reacted and felt quite ashamed.

"I can't decide this matter alone, I have to wait for Grandpa to come back and see what he means after agreeing with him." Xue Wang said, and then worried about Chen Ping, "Do you want to open a porcelain kiln?" ”

"Well, the porcelain kiln wants to open. But I want to open a brick kiln first, and the mountain I chose has just the right clay for burning bricks. "The use of bricks will be very large, not only the restaurant in the county, but also the house at home Chen Ping is also thinking about the reconstruction plan, subject to Xue Xiong, it is better to do it yourself, "Brother Xue, do you know where the township master lives in this village?" I'll go look for him first, and then I'll come back to you. ”

"I know, Master Liu is very famous in this village, that's a showman, a person who has been an official, I will take you there." Xue Wang nodded and immediately responded.

The name of the township master is Liu Zhuo, the word Shiyuan, through "Poetry", "Left Turn", "Li", the first emperor was a doctor of Guozhou, and then went to work due to illness, recuperated in Liuhe County, recovered from illness, and found such a place in Shangtu Village, and started to be a master.

"It's still a word." Looking at the person in front of him, Chen Ping sighed, literati bring words, words are not only respect, but also represent status, such as Chen Ping, if you want words, you can also take one now, but what is the use? has no power and no power, and is not good at learning, which can only add to the joke.

Liu Zhuo's appearance is not good, his temples are white, his hair is sparse, his forehead is bulging, and his back is a little bent.

"This is the cost of the master's bondage, so that the master can buy some poems, books, pens and ink." Accustomed to seeing this kind of person, Chen Ping was not angry, and took out a tael of silver from his arms, "When the younger brother is successful, I will come to thank Master Xie." ”

One or two bundles, there are already a lot, is squinting, Liu Zhuo's eyes sitting on the chair immediately opened, the book is not read, put it on the case, and took Chen Ping's silver: "It's not that the old man loves money, but it's helpless, this should be used for money." However, even if he doesn't have this money, the old man should pass on what he has learned in his life to his disciples, so that he can be appreciated by the county magistrate of Texas, recommended to the imperial court, and seek an official position. ”

"Then I'll trouble you, master, and I'll bring my younger brother here tomorrow. The younger brother is very stubborn, and he needs a lot of training from the master. Chen Ping said respectfully.

"It's okay, the years don't treat people, when your younger brother comes, I should teach him to go to school." Liu Zhuo said.

After the master's matter was decided, Chen Ping said goodbye to Liu Zhuo, looked up at the sky, walked around Shangtu Village, and then went to Xue Wang's house.

The door was open, and he could see that there were two people in the courtyard, and when he heard the sound outside the courtyard, he looked up at Chen Ping, it was Xue Wang, and the other older person was drinking water with a scoop, it should be Xue Wang's grandfather Xue Fucai.

"Grandpa, this is the Chen Ping I told you, a native of Baitu Village. Last time, thanks to him, I was able to take money from the guards to buy cattle. Chen Ping entered the courtyard, Xue Wang introduced, and by the way, he mentioned the last time.

Xue Fucai is not strong, on the contrary, he is a little thin, and the linen clothes on his body are covered with gray stains and have changed color, and his face is the same, but his eyes are still bright.

"I told me when I came back last time, I am really grateful, those guards have always been unreasonable, and you must not be so reckless next time." Xue Fucai said, after a while, he looked at Chen Ping, "I heard Xue Wang say, you want to open a brick kiln?" ”

"That's right, Brother Xue also told you about the salary, right?" Chen Ping replied, "Some time ago, the county ordered the grant of land and obtained thirty acres of woodland from Liuhe Mountain, and I think the clay is suitable for burning bricks. There is still money left at home, so I want to open a brick kiln. ”

Xue Fucai came back for a while, and Chen Ping's wages were already known, including the restaurants in the county and city that were originally Xue Xiong's, but now they have also become Chen Ping's.

But compared with Xue Wang, Xue Fucai knows more: "I heard in the porcelain kiln today that the Fulai restaurant in the county and city was chiseled, the ground inside was dug with a shovel, and the wooden pillars were sawn. ”

The matter of the restaurant must have been done by Xue Xiong, and it was not strange for Xue Fucai to hear about it, after all, this is Shangtu Village, maybe it was done by the people on the porcelain kiln.

Knowing that he knows, Chen Ping didn't bother to investigate: "It's okay, it's chiseled, it's chiseled, I'm thinking about using green bricks as a wall to repair the restaurant." ”

"Chen Yuanliang is your cousin?" Xue Fucai nodded and asked.

"Well, I'm also familiar with the county lieutenant." Chen Ping knew what Xue Fucai meant, "Uncle Xue, don't worry, as long as you go to work with me, I will guarantee your safety." Not only that, but at the end of each year in the future, Uncle Xue, you will be able to get a layer of profit from the income of the brick kiln. ”

Chen Ping is here, and he wants to dig up Xue Fucai.

Xue Fucai was silent for a moment, and his intention was moved, in fact, Chen Ping didn't mention the last stubble, but the monthly salary of 500 wen was enough to make Xue Fucai tempted.

Chen Ping didn't urge, stood on the side, and let Xue Fucai think about it.

After waiting for a while, Xue Fucai raised his head, his brows still unfurled: "In this way, since you want to open a brick kiln first, you don't need me, I can do it." It doesn't hurt to get a lower salary, what do you think? ”

"Grandpa, Brother Ping's salary is already generous enough, why don't you agree?" Xue Wang thought that Xue Fucai was raising his salary for an excuse, and said with some complaints, "Brother Ping is a sincere person. ”

"Brother Xue doesn't have to be like this, I think Uncle Fucai is in trouble." Chen Ping said on the side, if he can pull Xue Wang over first, at least he will not return empty-handed, there is still hope, but Xue Fucai is very worried, and it may be difficult to reassure him for a while.

"It's still Brother Ping." Xue Fucai sighed, his face full of sorrow, "If I leave the porcelain kiln, Xue Xiong will definitely not let go of my father and son." Brother Ping, although you have a cousin to help you in the county, Xue Xiong has been operating here for three generations, and he is familiar with the elders of Xu Yi Township. (To be continued.) )
