Wu Jin put his arm around his shoulders and pulled him aside, "Don't worry about her for now, I'm here to ask you for help." ”
"Just tell me, don't be polite to me!"
Wu Jin whispered a few words to him, Heimi squinted and smiled, "No problem, it's a trivial matter, I'll go to the brothers right away!" ”
.........
In the afternoon of the same day, there were many famous splashes in Weiyang County in the area of Baxian Bridge, led by the head of the splash skin, Heimi, and began to raise money for bridge repair from door to door, not much, twenty-five taels of silver per family, and only looking for big businessmen, which is a drizzle for the big merchants in the area of Baxian Bridge, no one dares to offend Heimi for this little money, and Heimi's rhetoric is chiseled, repairing the bridge is everyone's business, of course, there is money to pay, no money to support, although the words are good, it is also very reasonable, but by the black rice this kind of splash head to raise money for bridge repair, It seems that there is a bit of a feeling of a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to the chicken, although the heart is uncomfortable, but everyone is still enthusiastic to donate money, and the money is not much.
Someone calculated the account, there are more than 600 shops in the area of Baxian Bridge, of which more than 200 belong to large shops, even if only the big shops donate, each family 25 taels, which is more than 5,000 taels of silver, which is not a small amount!
If Heimi is really willing to take half of this money to build the bridge, they will also burn high incense by Amitabha.
Heimi led more than 30 people into Yang Ji Restaurant unhurriedly, Yang Ji Restaurant's shopkeeper Xu saw a group of people coming in, in addition to the notorious black rice, there are also the most ruthless prankster Zhang San0,000 in the Dongcheng area, as well as the beggar leader Three-eyed Maitreya, as well as the famous poisonous snake of usury, all of them are fierce and vicious, Xu Shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "May I ask what Hei Ye is doing?" ”
As soon as the black rice was shut, a few splashes put a big basket 'Boom!' And the ground was placed on the table, and in it was half a basket of silver ingots.
"We raised money to rebuild the Eight Immortals Bridge, and everyone else has paid it, it's your turn!"
Shopkeeper Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this matter was not big, and he hurriedly asked again: "Then how much silver do each family donate?" ”
Heimi glanced at him and said coldly: "Twenty-five taels is enough for other people's families, but your family benefits the most, so you have to donate more, one hundred taels!" ”
"But... How do I give an account to the proprietor? ”
"There is no need to explain, as soon as he asked, he knew that every household had donated."
Shopkeeper Xu was still a little hesitant, Heimi suddenly glared, grabbed him by the neck, his chin cocked, and said viciously: "Is there anything else?" ”
"No, I'll donate! I'll donate! ”
After Heimi let go of his collar, Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly ran into the counter, took out two large ingots of fifty taels, and put them in the bamboo basket, Heimi smiled, "It's about the same, do good deeds!" Accumulate virtue for children and grandchildren. ”
He turned and walked away, a black-clad punch! At the sound of a gong, he struck a gong and said: "Today, the Yang family does good deeds to benefit their sons and grandsons, if you ask how good the good deeds are, in fact, I don't know!" ”
The group went to the next house again, 'Dang! "Raise money for good!"
Shopkeeper Xu breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw them leaving, but this Eight Immortals Bridge is too dilapidated, and it should be repaired.
........
The fundraising went very smoothly, and in the evening, Heimi came to the pawnshop alone, and in the brightly lit guest hall, he handed six silver tickets of one thousand taels to Wu Jin, "A total of five thousand taels of silver were raised, and the other five hundred taels were a little bit of the brothers' hearts, and we also counted us as accumulating some virtue for our descendants." ”
Wu Jin took the silver ticket and smiled and asked, "Then how much did you donate?" ”
Heimi scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "I don't have much money, so I have to be embarrassed, I donated five taels, Hei Gu donated the most, and she donated four hundred taels alone." ”
Speaking of this, Heimi took out another bag and put it on the table, "This is what she asked me to pass on to you, saying that it was an important item you deposited on the island, and now the original item is returned, originally she was going to come with me tonight, but suddenly there was an emergency, she rushed to Yuhang County." ”
"Oh! Thank you so much for her. ”
When Wujin heard that Hei Mei had gone to Yuhang County, he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.
Now that the money has been raised, that step is to repair the bridge, he doesn't want to have a long night and dreams, so he must start construction tomorrow, "Then let's discuss the matter of repairing the bridge again, and I can only ask you for this matter." ”
..........
Heimi left, Wu Jin opened the package, and there were two things in the package, a purple gold wine gourd, he remembered that this was a relic given to him by the wine Taoist before he died, and there was another thing that was a Bayeux scripture, that is, a scripture written on a special leaf, it seemed to be the Diamond Sutra, he remembered that this was also given to him by the wine Taoist before he died, but he didn't know what it did.
At this time, Huang Fugui walked into the room with a tired face, he had just come back, he was looking for new shops everywhere yesterday and today, even if Wu Jin bought all of them, he would not open a pawnshop here, and when he came back, he heard about fundraising to repair the bridge.
"Wu Jin, I heard that you are raising money to repair the bridge, have you given the money?"
"Here it is!"
Wu Jin couldn't help but smile and said: "Twenty-five taels of silver, every family has to give it, fifth uncle, what's wrong with you, it seems that your face is not very good." ”
"Hey! To be honest, I don't want to donate, we decided to move out anyway, and it's none of my business to fix it well. ”
"Did you find the new store?"
"How can it be so easy, I am not satisfied with a few of them, it is still the best location of Baxian Bridge, but unfortunately our market is too poor."
Huang Fugui sat down, he saw the burden on the table, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Wu Jin was also about to ask him, so he opened the burden with a smile, "This is what my master left me, Fifth Uncle, you help me take a look, I don't understand these two things?" ”
"Hmmm! Let me see. ”
Huang Fugui picked up the purple gourd and looked at it, "This thing is very ordinary, made of copper, if you want me to estimate it at most five taels of silver, it is sold in the south market, and the market price is five taels of silver, but it is a relic of your master, and it is difficult to say emotionally." ”
He then picked up the bay leaf again, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "This kind of bay leaf scripture is rare, at first glance it is the best goods of the lion country, if the scripture is a famous master's true handiwork, it is very valuable, but the name on the seal is Yunqing, this name has not been heard, although the word is good, but it is not a famous calligraphy, at most it is worth a hundred taels of silver, or that sentence, the emotional price is not easy to say, Wu Jin, since this is your master's relic, you can keep it!" ”
Wu Jin remembered that this seemed to be the most precious thing of the wine Taoist, and it must be extraordinary and precious, and he saw that the fifth uncle couldn't understand it, so he put it away, and said to him with a smile: "Fifth uncle, you won't go out tomorrow." ”
"Why?"
"No why, I'll surprise you tomorrow!" Wu Jin smiled mysteriously.
Huangfugui is confused, what kind of dumb riddle is his nephew playing?
.......
The next day, dozens of carpenters and bridgemakers appeared near the Baxian Bridge, a pile of wood arrived, and the craftsmen began to sawn wood and drive piles, and the clanging sound of busyness signaled the beginning of the reconstruction of the bridge.
First of all, it is necessary to build a temporary bridge, a simple wooden bridge with wood for pedestrians to cross the bridge temporarily, generally built on the side of the old bridge, and the craftsmen also made a big sign with the words 'temporary bridge' written on it.
The merchants who came to inspect the news found that the temporary bridge had moved more than 100 steps to the west, and the nearest to it was the Jin Fu Ji pawnshop, but it was not directly facing the Jin Fu Ji pawnshop, but to the west facing Hu Min Lane, located at the bend of the Zitong River.
Although it is only a temporary bridge, it will be maintained for at least a few months to half a year, and I don't know who set this place, anyway, Jin Fu Ji pawnshop is lucky, with this temporary bridge, its business will be good.
The shops in Baxian Bridge are whispering, and many people think that this will have something to do with Huangfu Weiming, didn't he just become the head of Hucao? But some people also retorted, how can there be a person who seeks personal interests for his own people on the second day of taking office, and the bridge repair is under the management of the county government, and has nothing to do with the county government. If it is really the arrangement of the emperor, it should be repaired at the door of the Jin Fu Ji pawnshop.
The most surprising thing is Huang Fugui, he has no intention of doing business in the past two days, and was awakened by the sound of clanging in the early morning, and when he went out to look, he was stunned, only to see dozens of craftsmen starting to see wood sawing wood at the mouth of Hu Min Lane to the west of the pawnshop, and some craftsmen were loading dirt bags, ready to intercept the river and drive piles.
His buddy Lao Qi ran to inquire, and ran back after a while to report, "Shopkeeper, they said that this is a temporary bridge, and after it is repaired, the old bridge will be demolished and rebuilt." ”
Huangfu Gui's eyes widened, and he asked anxiously, "Have you asked clearly?" The bridge is built with us? ”
"That's right, but it's just a temporary bridge."
Whether it was temporary or permanent, this news made Huang Fugui stand there as if he had been struck by lightning, and he suddenly 'Ah! The ground shouted, danced excitedly, shouted and ran to the pawnshop, "Wujin, we have salvation, we have the market!" ”
