Chapter 4 Betting

The crossroads were pulled up.

The Song Dynasty was not rich in economy at this time, but the money was used as money, and later in the Song Dynasty, an average of 30 wen yuan for a stone of wheat and 70 wen yuan for a stone of rice, and now the price of wheat is only 10 wen yuan, and the price of rice is only 20 wen yuan. Other price indices are also low, that is, the money that has always been used as the money that comes later. But there is one thing, that is, silk, five dynasties and ten countries turmoil, serious damage to production, including sericulture, the price of silk compared with the following decades is slightly more expensive than one or two hundred Wen, generally in a silk in 1,300 Wen. The silk yarn used by the Zhu family as a dowry is not an ordinary silk yarn, and the price of a horse is two or three yuan.

A load of silk silk splashed with a brain of bean curd, more than a hundred dollars! The man who picked the silk was in a hurry, and the people of the Zhu family were also in a hurry, and several people grabbed the collar of the ancient man and made the ancient man compensate. The old man was honest and didn't know what to do, so he had to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Song Jiuyi pushed away the people who were watching the excitement, and Shi Shiran walked into the arena and said, "What are you doing, what are you doing, Gu Weng Weng, you get up." ”

"It's none of your business, please get out of the way!" The third uncle of the Zhu family said angrily.

"The road is uneven, and there are shovels, and there are uneven things that happened in front of my house." Song Jiu said as he borrowed a bundle of hemp rope from the grocery store diagonally opposite his house and began to compare what had happened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, neighbors, you have a good look, Gu Weng Weng pushed the tofu cart from the uphill to come, the cross alley, I couldn't see the situation, or shouted loudly to let go, Zhu Sanlang was frightened, Gu Weng Weng's car also arrived, can you hit the horse?"

There was no chalk, but the line was made with a rope, and as soon as I pulled it, the situation that happened at that time was repeated, and the neighbors on the left and right said together: "You can't bump into it." ”

"Gu Weng Weng was in a hurry, so he had to push to the side, and then bumped into this big man's burden, everyone, please see, whose responsibility is it?"

"Besides, the adopted daughter of a family asks for a hundred families, and my eldest sister asks the little lady of the Liu family on my behalf, it is better, and it is not a scandal if it doesn't work, right?"

"That's right." Left and right laughed together.

"The Liu family didn't agree, and I didn't refuse, and I didn't pass the exam this year, the Liu family sent someone to inform my family, saying that I was married to the Zhu family, and I was with my eldest sister at that time, and I didn't say anything, is there anything wrong?"

"Nope."

"The matter is in the past, has my family said that the Liu family is not?"

"Nope."

"Actually, I really don't care in my heart, the master once said a word, the future is terrifying, how do you know that the future is not now? Forty or fifty and unheard, Si is not afraid. What does this sentence mean, that is, don't bully young people into poverty. I don't think it's a humiliation, but it gives me more motivation. ”

"Xiao Jiu, that's a good point." They are all acquaintances, cheering together.

"Why do you have a big road and don't go, but you pick such a large group of people and luggage to Kujing Lane, and deliberately blow and blow at the door of my house, there are poor people here, and there is a slope in the west, can you not have an accident? Folks, how pitiful is Gu Weng? The wife of the family is sick all the year round, do some small tofu camp, to support the family, to see a doctor for the wife, you don't take care of it, but instead beat a rake, let the family accompany you for the dowry, what kind of reason is this, is it great to have money? ”

First of all, reason.

The Song Dynasty was similar to his later generations, economic, cultural, military, diplomatic, including some ideological concepts. Song Jiu wanted to be a local tyrant, and other people also wanted to be a local tyrant, but before the local tyrant was done, he hated the local tyrant.

Song Jiu just said a word, and everyone immediately worked together, and Aunt Su, who was doing needlework to make a living on the opposite side of the door, said loudly: "Yes, Jiulang is right, I have to pay Gu Weng's money." ”

The matchmaker Zhong's mother was not happy, and crossed the bucket's waist with her hand, and said, "Yo, is it reasonable to be poor." ”

"What if you have money, we don't want to lose money if you are rich." Aunt Chen at the corner of the alley.

Song Jiu saw the opportunity, deliberately stumbled and stumbled on Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen didn't know that he was intentional, but Song Jiu was big, and this area brought Aunt Chen to Mother Zhong. Mother Zhong is a professional matchmaker, not only can she speak, but people are not easy to mess with, so she reached out and pushed Aunt Chen away.

Song Jiudao: "Why don't you lose money, you blackmail people, and now you have to beat people." ”

After he kept fanning the flames on the side, the neighborhood and the dowry team really fought for a while. It was only a moment of effort, and the luxurious dowry changed, all kinds of exquisite utensils, fruits, wine, meat, barrels, and scoops were trampled on, and the silk and satin became a strip of cloth, but fortunately, a few subordinates saw that the situation was not right, and held the gold and silver jewelry box tightly, and did not lose it.

The Zhu family is unclear here, so they sent someone to report to the official.

Seeing them report to the official, the neighbors were a little scared, Song Jiu said: "Don't be afraid, the government is also reasonable, the old man is pitiful, everyone pool a little money to the old man, and also, let's check whether they have been injured by the Zhu family, so that the government can deal with it." ”

The river is poor, it's a slum, there are all kinds of people, don't you understand?

Uncles and aunts are happy, some people pool money for the old man, some people lie on the ground, ouch yo yo really scream.

However, Song Jiu is a good comrade, from beginning to end, a gentleman does not move his hands, it has nothing to do with him, and he is a lifter, and he can't lie on the ground and pretend to be injured, so he went to Blacksmith Li's blacksmith shop and said to Blacksmith Li: "Li Dalang, let's start construction." ”

Blacksmith Li and his apprentice carried tools and followed Song Jiu to the river, raised the furnace on the embankment, and melted the molten iron on the spot.

Song Jiu ran to the river to buy a few pieces of wood, and found the seventh brother-in-law from the coolies, as well as Zhang Jiashilang, He Jiaerlang, Zhong Jialang, Cao Jiasanlang, and Qi Jiabalang, all of whom were involved in some relatives, and the relatives were a little far away, but they usually interacted, and the relationship was good.

Build a high platform first, at this time there is no cement mortar concrete, afraid that it will not be strong, so I first called the seventh brother-in-law to help, and tied the wood in a circle, leaving a circular gap in the middle, and drilled a hole more than one meter deep in the river embankment with this gap. Only then did the earth be picked up and the high platform was built, but the gap in the middle remained untouched. This time it was Blacksmith Lee's turn, who poured the molten iron into the cracks.

From time to time, white water vapor came out from below, and in a moment, the molten iron solidified again, and poured it all the way to the top of the high platform, and the blacksmith Li followed Song Jiu's instructions, found a mold, and poured an iron pillar on it, which was later used as a rotating shaft, and it was very difficult, so it was poured all the way to the bottom of the river embankment to make it a whole and strengthen its firmness. A large iron hook was also designed on top of the iron shaft.

Many people came to watch with curiosity.

"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing?" Boss Hu saw that there were many onlookers and also came to watch, he was puzzled, so he asked.

The Tang Dynasty had a group line, the Song Dynasty also had a variety of group lines, the East Water Gate in the Bianshui River on both sides of the river porter also had their own group line, because of the business, often fighting, Hu Lao is big, strong, wild, he was selected as the head of the line by the river porter. He was also the leader of the brawl a few days ago, and he was released after receiving 80 canes in Kaifeng Mansion.

Hezhong is an immigrant area, a slum, and most of the people who have a fortune move to the inner city, or other high-grade places in the capital, among these 3,000 households, Song Jiu's father is considered to be the best, although he died, the neighbors often praise Song Jiu's cheap father.

Boss Hu was not convinced, he thought he was a hero, and often said that if I went to the battlefield, I would not be weaker than Song Dalang.

once raised the bar with him for this eldest sister, and fought for it, which was not a big holiday, and met Song Jiu, and often greeted him.

Seeing Boss Hu, Song Jiu immediately thought of one thing, as soon as this thing came out, it would have a huge impact on the porters on both sides of the strait. If it is not handled properly, it will be dismantled by this group of porters. But if you say it, although you are stained with Lao Tzu's light, at least half of the more than 3,000 households in the river know you, but your prestige is far inferior to that of Boss Hu, so you will be in a weak position.

Said: "Hu Xingtou, I use this thing to pick up goods." ”

"Xiao Jiu, you didn't pass the exam, your brain is broken."

"Hu Xingtou, if you don't believe us make a bet, I not only use it to pick things, but also more than twice as efficient as you."

"This kid is stupid," Boss Hu didn't believe it, and said to the people next to him.

At least now everyone thinks that Boss Hu is right, what is this high platform moving, can it be that when you come overnight, the high platform can become a human and a monster?

"Hu Xingtou, let's do it, let's make a bet, if I lose, I will write a paragraph on paper, saying that my father is far inferior to Hu Xingtou's hero, and he will slip through the streets and alleys of the river."

This is good, Boss Hu asked excitedly, "Then what about you won?" ”

"If you win, you listen to my instructions, organize all the river porters for me, form a tighter group, and divide the shares, and expand on a large scale on the Bianshui embankment, really defeat the Hebei porters, let them drink the northwest wind."

"Okay."

"This doesn't count, it's for everyone's welfare, and you also took a group of people to the vicinity of Zhu's house and sang to me all day and night."

The Liu family repented of their relatives, the Zhu family and the Liu family made a family affair, most of the people knew about this matter, after listening to Song Jiu's words, they all smiled forward and backwards, and Boss Hu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Zhong, I promise you." ”

At this moment, a man in a yellow robe rode a horse and led the servants to come quickly.

The officials separated everyone and shouted loudly: "Fu Yin has arrived, the big guy quickly get out of the way." ”

Who is Kaifeng Mansion Yin, the one who doesn't know the way, the second king Zhao Kuangyi. Everyone immediately got out of the way, and the two servants went in and held Song Jiu down, Song Jiu was inexplicable, and said loudly: "I'm a lifter, you can't arrest me." ”

I didn't catch it, but Zhao Kuangyi waved his hand and said, "Just bring him up." ”
