Chapter 41: Fortune and Misfortune Are Impermanent

(Ask for recommendation votes, ask for Sanjiang tickets, ask for more...... )

Chen Ke didn't have any purpose, so he took his two younger brothers to wander leisurely on the street, watching groups of people gather around and listening to the play, watching the chasing and frolicking of young people on the street, and watching the shops and shops, like spring flowers, competing to open together, no one is far behind.

I didn't do anything, just walking, listening, and watching, and I felt that I was drinking a cup of elixir, which was very comfortable.

Just when he was a little distracted, he suddenly heard someone call him: "San Lang! ”

Chen Ke followed the prestige and saw that it was Li Jian, the wine merchant, and two family members carrying gifts behind him.

"It turned out to be Uncle Li, it's a big holiday, where are you going?" Chen Ke smiled and hugged his fists at him.

"you," Li Jian wanted to smile, but couldn't laugh and said, "I just happened to touch you." ”

"But what's the matter?"

"First, I haven't seen you for a long time, go and see you, and second, alas, ......" Li Jian sighed and said, "Let's go to your house and talk about it." ”

Chen Ke nodded, and when he saw that Liulang was playful, he asked Wulang to take a fancy to him, so he took Li Jian home.

When he arrived at home, he invited Li Jian to sit in the front hall, but he couldn't find Aunt Zhang's figure, so Chen Ke had to pour him tea by himself.

"Don't bother." Li Jian grabbed him and said, "I'm burning the fire now, how can I be in the mood to drink tea." ”

"That's all the more fire." Although Chen Ke said this, he really didn't know how to make tea in the Song Dynasty, so he had to bring Li Jian a glass of white water: "I'll talk about it after drinking." ”

"Alas......" picked up the bowl and drank it all, Li Jian sighed heavily: "The catastrophe is coming, San Lang." ”

"......" Chen Ke frowned slightly, waiting for him to continue.

"Yesterday I was summoned by the big order, and he told me that Huang Jiaojiu was added to the list of tributes in Yizhou Mansion!" Li Jian said with a bitter face: "From this year onwards, every September, you need to solve a hundred barrels of original wine and buy it with Yizhou Mansion." "The so-called 'and buying' means that the government stipulates the quantity and price of compulsory purchase of goods.

"How much does the government give?" Chen Ke asked.

"Five."

"Five?!" Chen Ke's eyes widened and said: "A barrel of original wine is 600 catties, and the cost alone will be fourteen!" 100 barrels will pay 900 yuan, not to mention! How much wine can we make in a year? ”

"Last year, it was 70,000 catties of ......," Li Jian said astringently: "Horizontal and vertical can't hold it." ”

"You didn't explain it to the Great Order?" Chen Ke stared at him and said, "This is not wine, this is fatal!" ”

"Of course I did," Li Jianyu said, "But the great order said that this is an order, and bargaining is not allowed......"

"Bring it ......," Chen Ke stretched out his hand and said.

"What?" Li Jian raised her teary eyes.

"Kumon!" Chen Ke glared at him and said, "You have to let me see, so that my heart is steady, right?" ”

"I didn't get an official document, I was told by the head of the order." Li Jian shook his head and said: "He said, let me go back and prepare, and wait until the liberation, I have my own official will." ”

"Hey......" Chen Ke touched his chin of Guangguang: "It's really evil, ......" and asked again: "What else did the Great Order say?" ”

"No, let me go back after that......" Li Jian said helplessly.

"You're back?" Chen Ke said in disbelief.

"There's no way, if Chen Daling is here, I will naturally stalk him." Li Jian said depressedly: "But Song Daling only took office at the beginning of the year, and he is another style that no one is close to, and he has not had time to open up the joints." ”

Thanks to the rapid development of Qingshen County, the original Chen Zhi County, because of his outstanding political achievements, was promoted before the expiration of his term, and was replaced by a county magistrate surnamed Song a year ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seeing that Chen Ke was silent for a long time, Li Jian finally couldn't help but shed tears: "In the past, I felt that this kind of thing was so far away, why did you let us do it?" ”

"People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and if you are fattened, you will naturally be slaughtered." Chen Ke said lightly: "This is not unusual, I didn't expect the Song Dynasty to be like this." ”

"Alas, I usually feel that I am a character, but I only know when something happens, and it turns out that I am not a fart." Li Jian wiped his tears and said: "My eyes are black, and I can only stand up and be slaughtered." ”

"What's the panic," Chen Ke comforted him: "There is still half a year before September, let's think about it." ”

"What can we come up with?" Li Jian was extremely depressed: "Besides, there are 10,000 catties to be shipped this month, will it be shipped or not?" ”

"......" Chen Ke pondered for a moment and asked, "How many orders are left?" ”

"Not to mention more than 100,000 catties, they are all booked until the year after tomorrow." Li Jian thought for a while and said: "Just before September, there will be 50,000 catties, which are all paid in full." ”

"I asked you to only take a deposit, but you just won't listen." Chen Ke glared at him and said, "It's okay now, it's hard to ride a tiger, right?" ”

"San Lang, say that those are useless, let's get a charter!" Li Jian said pitifully.

"Hair, people don't stand without faith, the deed is written in black and white, why don't you ship it!" Chen Ke pondered for a long time and said categorically: "Don't take new orders, but those that have been set will still be shipped on time." ”

"What about the hundred barrels you bought?" Li Jian's eyes widened.

"Still don't you understand? If we buy according to the government's conditions, we will definitely die. Chen Ke said lightly: "Whether or not to fulfill the original order is just a matter of how fast you die." It's all dead horizontally and vertically, why do you have to be poked in the back......"

"I don't want to die...... Li Jian whimpered and said, "San Lang, is there no way?" ”

"You don't have to be impatient, go back to recover your spirits, and come to me again," Chen Ke said in a deep voice: "Just like you said, your eyes are black, you can only wait for death, we have to find a way to figure out the ins and outs of this matter, and then dare to say that there is a countermeasure." ”

Seeing off Li Jian, who was like a mourner, Chen Ke's mood was also very heavy, and he stood in the courtyard for a long time.

He thought that this official of the Great Song Dynasty did not disturb the people, and the world was simple, as long as he did not break the law and did not hinder anyone, he could live his happy and prosperous life. It seems that this is not a carefree peach blossom paradise after all, and it is impossible for me to be carefree forever.

At this time, Aunt Zhang came back from outside, still holding a small bag of fried melon seeds in her hand, and when she saw Chen Ke's gloomy face, she thought that she was angry and ran away to the neighbor's house to pull it.

Chen Ke didn't have the heart to scold her, he knew that the servant deceived the family and there was no heroine, and it was inevitable to cheat and play tricks, so he just looked at her coldly, and then turned around and entered the house.

After sitting in the room for a while, he pondered the whole thing repeatedly, how he thought about how he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was, and he was lying on the bed in a daze, when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Please come in." Chen Ke sat up, he thought it was Aunt Zhang who came to admit his mistake, but when the door opened, he found that it was the second brother Chen Chen and a tall and thin teenager. Although the young man's face could not hide his anxiety, he still lost his composure and bowed to Chen Ke.

Chen Kezheng stared at him in a daze, clenched his fists indiscriminately and said, "Who is this?" ”

"San Lang, this is Uncle Su's San Lang, the same as uncle."

"Uh, Uncle Tong...... Elder brother. Chen Ke squinted at the young man, and said in his heart, "Uncle Su's family in Meishan?" ”

"And a few Uncle Su." Chen Chen, who has a broken mouth on weekdays, said very neatly today: "Daddy asked Uncle Tong to send a letter and asked us to go to Meishan." ”

"What's wrong with Daddy?" Chen Ke suddenly came to his senses.

"Third brother rest assured, Uncle Chen Shi is fine," the tall and thin young man, although his tone was slow, he could not hide his anxiety: "It's a patient in my family, come and ask the third brother to come over for treatment." ”

"How can I know any medical skills," Chen Ke said: "Isn't Uncle Song together, have you asked him to see it?" ”

"That's exactly what Uncle Song meant." Uncle Tong.

Anyway, people's lives are at stake, hurry over to do it, Chen Ke closed the door, told Aunt Zhang a few words, and walked out.

When he went out, Uncle Tong walked in front, the Chen brothers were a little behind, Chen Ke looked at Erlang, and whispered, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Isn't it a brother?" Jiro is already an adult, but his figure is a little thin, and he looks about the same height as his younger brother. His face turned a little red and said, "If it's a brother, don't be silent." ”

"Hey......" Chen Ke smiled ambiguously, although he didn't know what to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the three of them arrived at the dock, the boat bound for Meishan had already left the dock, and Uncle Tong said in frustration: "I don't know when the boat should be!" ”

"Just stop the boat." Chen Ke said.

"How can people listen to us." Uncle Tong said that someone might be able to call the boat back, but it had to be a squire with a head and a face, not half of us.

"Uncle Wunaqiu, it's not convenient yet?!" Before he finished speaking, he heard Chen Ke's loud voice.

Seeing this abrupt sound, the dock people looked sideways, and Uncle Tong couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down, and said with a helpless wry smile in his heart: "This Chen family Sanlang, why is it as out of tune as my second brother......

He thought that others would laugh at them, but who knew that those people would actually help shout together: "Boss Wunaqiu, don't get back yet!" ”

He was surprised when he saw that the flat-deck boat, which had already sailed out for dozens of feet, stopped slowly, and then drove back upside down. Leaning on the shore for a while, the boat boss put down the cable and pedal, and then straightened up and smiled at Chen Ke: "It's a good blessing to be able to carry San Lang once!" ”

'This, this, the people of Qingshen County, are so old-fashioned and warm-hearted? The expression on my uncle's face was wonderful.

couldn't bear to let him suffocate his five organs, Chen Chen explained in a low voice: "This is the original landlord of my family, but I have some friendships. "This Qiu boss is the one who brought the Chen family to the county seat and rented them a house. At that time, he was fooled by Chen Ke for a while, and almost rented the house to the Chen family for nothing, and was scolded by his wife for a long time after he went back. Who knew that when the Chen family moved out, the whole yard had been completely renewed, and it was even more magnificent than when it was newly built, and it was always rented in January.

But his wife was overjoyed, and he stopped renting it out and moved back from the ship. As long as he doesn't run the boat, Boss Qiu will also go back to live, not only is he no longer angry with Chen Ke for lowering the price, but he always wants to repay him.

The boat sailed away from the county seat again, Chen Ke and Boss Qiu thanked each other, and made a tooth with the same uncle, but he was still a year older. Chen Ke's heart moved, and he asked, "With... Uncle, how many brothers do you have in your family? ”

"There is only one elder brother," the same uncle said very considerately, "the two of us have one word and one word and one uncle, because we originally had a brother, but he died early." ”

"I'm sorry." Chen Ke said apologetically.

"It's okay," although the young man's face was cold, but after getting acquainted with it, he was still very gentle: "I also feel that there is something wrong with the small characters, and I have asked my father to correct it for me." ”

"Oh, I take the liberty of asking." Chen Ke endured it for a long time, but he still couldn't bear it and said, "Is your big name ...... Su Zhe? ”

"Well, the little brother is Su Zhe." The young man didn't feel surprised, and nodded lightly.
