Chapter 7 Charcoal to Salt Return

In the city of Yizhou, it is prosperous and prosperous.

Even though the city is full of smoke and rain, it is still crowded. The temporary truce between the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding forces gave the people a chance to breathe. On the winter solstice, people began to prepare for the New Year. This is one of the reasons why the city is so prosperous.

Yifei was a newcomer, although he sold the prepared charcoal with his own cleverness and modern sales technology. But the money he got made him a little disappointed.

But there's no way around it, so you can't grab it! I only hope that the five copper coins in my hand can buy a bucket of good rice, so that he and Xuan'er can barely survive.

"Come back tomorrow, sell more charcoal this season, and you can also prepare for the New Year." The only thing Yi Fei can use now is his advanced wisdom that is higher than that of the current Tang people.

And just as he was packing up the empty basket and about to get up to buy rice, suddenly a person patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Yi Fei looked back sharply, and a fat man in a brightly dressed shirt was looking at him with a smile at the moment. He held a small hand pot in his hand, and at a glance in Yifei's eyes, it was still a good product. The two-handed, figure-eight mustache is also a little sexy. A pair of Mimi's small eyes, it feels like two slits have been pulled with a carving knife under the eyebrows. With a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth at all times, it is easy to paralyze people who have not been in the world in terms of physiognomy.

"Who are you?" Yifei asked, as long as it wasn't a 'chengguan', there was nothing to be afraid of. If you want to deceive him, that's not something ordinary people can do.

After hearing this, the fat man touched his sexy mustache, and then responded politely: "Contemptible Gao Feiyang, a salt merchant." ”

"Salt merchant?" After Yi Fei heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he suddenly thought of Bai Juyi's "Salt Merchant Woman". It was also around this era that salt merchants colluded with officials to arbitrarily raise the price of salt, fill their own pockets, and live an arrogant and lascivious life.

Yifei knew that after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the salt tax had basically become the main source of maintaining royal rule. It can be seen how the current salt merchants will have an impact on the future Datang.

Whether to be close or distancing, Yifei suddenly began to contradict. Obviously, if he can get acquainted with a salt merchant now, then he and Xuan'er will have a much better life in the future. But the salt merchant's money is obtained by squeezing the salt farmers, is such a man worthy of his strength?

Gao Feiyang seemed to see Yifei's nervousness, so he smiled and said to Yifei: "This little brother, you don't have to be so restrained. There is no malice in despicable people looking for you. Just because you have a lot of talent, and you're good at calculations, would you like to come to me? ”

Yifei finally knew his intention, it seems that Gao Feiyang was also present when he was settling accounts before, he took a fancy to his calculation ability, I have to say, this Gao Feiyang is really knowledgeable, and his mathematical calculation ability with the general ability of Olympiad mathematics is not ordinarily strong.

Even if Yifei is now in Chang'an, he manages the treasury and calculates finances, it is not a problem at all.

However, is he really willing to work in a high-flying shop?

"This master, the kid has never been to school, I don't know the etiquette, if there is any offense, I hope to forgive me. With all due respect, is it the master's lack of talent? Why deign to find the kid? ”

Yi Fei wants this fat man to see his arrogant side, in this case, if Gao Feiyang still needs himself, he has to consider the problem of whether this guy will listen to him in the future.

Yifei knew that the salt merchant's accounts were top secret, and he didn't know how many corruption records there were, and Gao Feiyang had to find someone extremely reliable to help him manage them. If Yifei was a difficult person to tune, then he wouldn't take that risk.

However, to Yifei's surprise, even though he showed some pride, Gao Feiyang still said resolutely: "This little brother, to be honest, I have never seen a talent as proficient in arithmetic as you, and our salt merchant has a lot of messy accounts to deal with. It is necessary to have a clever account management. ”

It seems that this guy is going to settle himself, which makes Yifei a little annoyed.

"This lord, the salt merchant's accounts are not so simple, the villain just wants to live an honest and stable life, don't embarrass the villain."

Yifei said this part, and he almost said, "You salt merchant's money is not legitimate, I won't do it." ”

How could Gao Feiyang not understand Yifei's words, so he smiled a little excitedly: "Hahahaha, the little brother was worried about this, you can rest assured, I, Gao Feiyang, am also a child of a poor family, and I have always relied on my conscience and credibility to go south and north, and I have never been greedy for a penny of salt farmers." ”

Gao Feiyang's words made Yi Fei stunned for a while, he didn't expect that the most treacherous salt merchant would have such people, to be honest, he didn't believe it. When he came to this era, he was full of rejection of everything. Except for Xuan'er, he felt that everyone would have bad intentions towards him.

Although this is Yifei's psychological effect, it is also a manifestation of his fear.

"Well, let me think about it." Yifei must have a good understanding of this Gao Feiyang, how can he believe it based on only one side.

And Gao Feiyang seemed to be really thirsty for talent, and repeatedly begged: "This son, how about the contemptible person is willing to pay the usual monthly money?" ”

Always! It is one tael of silver, two hundred buckets of rice, and two hundred baskets of coal. What a heart-warming number.

Yifei even wanted to agree, but in the end, he still insisted: "This master, if the villain comes up with a pair for you to play, before you come out, please let me think about it." ”

"Oh? Pairs? Okay, contemptible people have nothing to do, so they love this. Often in the literati son, listening to the rain pavilion, can always study a few pairs of good couplets. ”

Yifei knows how proud it is that the couplet was produced in the Tang Dynasty, an era in which both material and cultural development have reached the extreme.

Pairs are the usual pastime of these people. And now, Yifei needs to use it to stall for time.

"That's okay, the lord listens well, the villain's uplink is, 'Charcoal goes to salt, black and white, mountains and rivers'."

What Yifei said is his current situation, the charcoal is sold out, and a salt merchant comes, right and wrong, and he still needs to think about it, as if he is telling Gao Feiyang that they are different and do not conspire with each other.

"Remember, sir, charcoal is a mountain commodity; White salt is a parallel commodity. How will the lord respond? ”

After Yifei finished speaking, he handed the question to Gao Feiyang.

And when Gao Feiyang got this uplink, he only felt that in an instant, his brain was confused.

"Black charcoal and white salt, mountain goods and parallel goods. This is a big challenge! ”

After getting the upper link, Gao Feiyang instantly fell into contemplation, and threw himself into the profundity of this upper link again and again. I even forgot about the search for talent.

And when Yifei paced back and forth with that high flying, he quietly left the place.

"Hahahaha, this is absolute, I didn't break the contract, don't bother me before I come out." Yi Fei had already disappeared into the street where the charcoal was sold at this moment, and when he thought that Gao Feiyang was overwhelmed by his couplet, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

After that, he came to the rice shop on East Street, and at his behing, the kind shopkeeper sold Yifei a bucket of good rice. However, the good rice here is not as good as the brown rice in the present world, but what else, it would be nice to have rice to eat at this time.

Finally, today's trip into the city is over, and finally, Yifei returned home with a bucket of rice, a dilapidated but warm home. At home, there is also a sister who is worried about herself, waiting eagerly.
