Chapter 23: A flash of thought for the big man
Early the next morning, the seducer left Ye Xiaotian's mansion, and when he left, the prosperity of Tongren had already left a brand on him, and the scenery of Changfeng Dao people had also left a brand in his heart. Maybe it's not deep enough, but it's only the first step.
The so-called corrosion is to make people unconsciously into the middle of the hole to be considered clever, if people are vigilant, then it will be inferior, Ye Xiaotian has his own backhand, as long as there is already a gap in his heart defense, Ye Xiaotian has a way to pry this gap bigger and bigger.
When the tribe of Geduo Lao migrated according to Ye Xiaotian's order, the temple allocated a batch of gold to the tribe according to Ye Xiaotian's order, and this gold was also brought to Ye Xiaotian's mansion by the seducer, which was the raw gold sand ore extracted from the gold mines in the deep mountains.
This mineral is hidden deep in the mountains, and it has never been known to the outside world because the Shengmiao tribe lives around. The gold sand of this mine is so pure that it hardly needs to be refined. But if you take such a pure gold sand raw ore to shop, it may cause suspicion among those who are interested, so Ye Xiaotian is not in a hurry to make a move.
On the day that the seducer arrived in Tongren, he sent someone to inform the "tycoon grocery store" on Qinglang Street and invited the tycoon to Tongren to meet him. Ye Xiaotian wanted to hand over this batch of gold sand to the tycoon, who would help secretly buy farm tools, seeds, cloth, oil and salt, grain and other things.
Before the tribe of the Gedaros could be self-reliant, with these things, they could be guaranteed to live as much as possible. Ye Xiaotian's purpose was to lead these mountain people who devout him as the main person to a civilized and prosperous life, rather than living a half-savage life in the mountains.
He thought that the tycoon would come quickly, but he didn't expect the tycoon to come late, and a day after the seducer left, the tycoon's messenger arrived and told him that his own young master was on the way, and it turned out that the reason why the tycoon was so slow was because he had moved his family to Tongren.
The tycoon had told him before that Tongren City was bigger than Huxian. It is more suitable for him to show his strength, and he has the heart to move to Tongren, but it is always difficult to make the trip, and now Ye Xiaotian has taken the first step, and the tycoon has finally made up his mind and moved to Tongren.
Fortunately, the tycoon had already made preparations for moving to Tongren, and the house and other places had already been handled by his branch in Tongren, and it was not in a hurry to move at this time. The two brothers finally reunited in Tongren.
Six Dragons Mountain and Seven Xuanguan, Wang Ning and Hong Baichuan are still playing chess.
Wang Ningbu has a son. said to Hong Baichuan: "Ling Gongzi moved to Tongren?" ”
Hong Baichuan nodded and said, "This kid has long had the intention to move to Tongren, but he hasn't made the trip. It was good that he moved in, so I had an excuse to come and live with my son, so that I would have to rush to Tongren with the excuse of being busy with business from time to time. ”
Wang Ning smiled bitterly and said: "It was I who fell for Yang Yinglong, and I really thought that the key point for him to run the Northeast was Huxian, so that the eldest brother made a wrong decision." Who would have thought that he was a Ming Xiu plank road. Secretly crossing Chen Cang, the real focus is on Tongren. ”
Hong Baichuan said: "I can't complain about you, seeing that he looks like he is bound to win Huxian, who would have thought that there was fraud in it?" Didn't Tian fall for him? Otherwise, why did the Tian family send people to Huxian again and again. It's just that now he has hooked up with several toasts in Tongren, and I hope we still have time to master his every move. ”
Wang Ning said: "After all, we are a step late, and now we want to wedge a nail between them." Plug in the internal line, it's too late, and the eldest brother wants to take advantage of a Taoist. That's all for it? ”
Hong Baichuan also laid a son and smiled: "Not bad! A long time ago, when emperors and generals made important decisions or sent troops on expeditions, they would ask the gods for divination to predict good luck and evil. And now many emperors will ...... It's still the same to ask God for divination, hehe......"
What Hong Baichuan said is not true at all, landmines, lightning strikes, and a little change in the sky, the emperor has to consult Qin Tianjian, issue an edict for his own crimes, and grant amnesty to the world.
Wang Ning said wistfully: "I see. ”
Hong Baichuan said: "As long as the people of Changfeng Dao can be valued and trusted by them, sooner or later there will be a day to ask him for divination." We may not be able to get ordinary news, but we will definitely be able to know some important news, and what we need is not really important news? ”
……
At this time, the Luowang River in Guiyang is holding a dragon boat festival. On the river beach is a complete dragon boat dug out of cedar wood, the boat is seven or eight zhang long, but the width is only three feet, carved with a dragon head and a phoenix tail, and the dragon head is crowned with a male root, a bird, or a fish-shaped symbol, in order to pray for an heir, the joy of fish and water, and so on. Of course, the dragon horn will also be engraved with auspicious words such as "the wind and rain are smooth" and "the country is safe and the people are safe".
On the shore was a square table with branches stripped of leaves and branches, an umbrella, red cloth, paper money, and a handful of grass, and a liter of white rice, a white rooster with a dehaired coat, and three cups of water and wine in front of the incense burner.
An old man in a white robe held three pillars of incense, silently praying to the sky, the wizard next to him reached out his hand, grabbed the white rooster with his left hand, grabbed the white rice with his right hand, and threw it at the dragon boats.
Seeing this, the white-robed old man waved his big hand and shouted majestically: "Begin!" ”
The drums sounded like thunder, and the countless spectators on the beach suddenly let out a tsunami-like cry, and the shirtless young men with red belts and red silk puffed up their tendons one by one, lifted the dragon boat and rushed into the river, and jumped into the boat and rowed the oars while the dragon boat was still sliding forward by inertia.
The old man in the white robe smiled and walked to the three-story grandstand on the beach, with a shed on the stand, and the shed was also tied with red silk, which was the place where the Guiyang tycoons who hosted the dragon boat race watched the game.
As soon as the white-robed old man arrived, the people in the stands stood up in unison, because the white-robed old man's surname was An, and he was the king of toast. If more than 100 large and small toasts in Guizhou are more than 100 dragons, then he is the dragon king.
Old man An calmly walked to his position under the solemn gaze of more than 100 powerful people in the third-floor stands, and when he was halfway through, he suddenly stopped. On his left hand side is a pair of beautiful people, the male is as rich as jade, and the female is smiling like a flower, it is Tian Binfei and Tian Miaowen brother and sister.
As soon as they saw the old man standing, the Tian brothers and sisters hurriedly saluted him, and said in unison: "Hello old man!" ”
Old Man An looked at their brother and sister with a smile and said, "I heard that a seedling came out of the mountain and arrived in the territory of Tixi Division?" ”
The Tian brothers and sisters glanced at each other. Tian Binfei was surprised and said: "My brother and sister don't know about this, where did the old man hear about it?" ”
Old Man An nodded at them with a smile and said, "You two little foxes, do you want to play tricks with the old man?" Tongren's little fat man should be frightened, your Tian family is his old master, and that little fat man will definitely ask for your head. ”
Tian Miaowen blinked and asked obediently, "That...... If there are really seedlings out of the mountain, and Governor Zhang asks our brothers and sisters, the old man thinks, what should our Tian family do? ”
Old Man An said with a smile: "The little fat man of the Zhang family is timid. Your brothers and sisters are not small, are they also frightened? It's good to comfort and comfort him, the seedlings come out of the mountain, according to the old man, it is not necessarily a bad thing, just let it be, just let it be! ”
Tian Miaowen was still about to ask again, but Old Man An had already continued to walk forward, and the three of them were not speaking loudly. Spectators on the shore were cheering for the dragon boat team with thunderous shouts, so that no one else could hear what the three were saying.
What kind of identity is Old Man An, his every move, word and deed. How could the Tian brothers and sisters wait to ignore it. After Old Man An took his seat, everyone also sat down one by one, Tian Binfei and Tian Miaowen glanced at each other, both at a loss. Rao is one of them is extremely smart, and the other is good-natured, and he doesn't understand the deep meaning of Old Man An's words.
The King of Toast deliberately stopped. The two brothers and sisters of the Tian family, who are declining and have gradually succumbed to the end of the four heavenly kings, spoke cordially, and in the eyes of others, they only regarded the old man as having compassion for the decline of the Tian family, so they took special care, and no one thought that what the three of them talked about was a thing that was not worth mentioning in the eyes of many Tongren people.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Dai Tongzhi went to Tixi, and there was one less person in the trio of Dai Li and Ye, and only Li Shi and Ye Xiaotian were left who often got together, the two were already familiar with each other, and their official status was also comparable, but they got along very well.
On this day, after eating and drinking, and massage, Li experienced feeling energetic, and he couldn't help his increasingly obese body if he didn't vent well, so he wanted to show his skills in the fireworks willow alley. Ye Xiaotian didn't like this, so the two broke up halfway.
Ye Xiaotian saw that it was still early, and there was nothing important in the yamen at this time, so he walked to Xicheng to check the progress of dredging, this dredging is indeed not something that can be completed easily, and it is extremely time-consuming to dig out the saprophyte that has accumulated for more than 500 years, with great viscosity and strong suction, from the ground with manpower with a spade and a spade.
Not far from the dredging site, on the ground of an empty mine, a large temporary factory area has been circled by Yu Kee, and the shopkeeper Ding almost stopped his brick and tile shop in the suburbs for the time being, and all the staff were transferred to the city.
Ye Xiaotian walked into the brick shop with the guards, and saw that there were two shallow pits on the left and right sides of the door, and a few children led the buffalo and stepped around in the pit, like mud monkeys.
These silt dug out of the ground are suitable for burning bricks, but it is not completely unnecessary to "refine", because it also needs to add some other things to stir into one to make zuò brick embryos and tile embryos, but because it is a sticky silt, it only needs to be slightly mixed and refined, and it does not need to be stirred for half a day.
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help frowning when he saw so many child laborers, and some of them were not very neat in the stumbling aisles. Further on, I saw that there were more children engaged in the work of moving bricks, although they were young and had little strength, but the ants gnawed on the elephants, and there were many bricks and tiles to carry.
The shopkeeper Ding sent a rich gentleman out with a smile on his face, this rich gentleman's family wants to build a new house, and he has just ordered a batch of bricks and tiles here, as soon as he saw Ye Xiaotian coming, the shopkeeper Ding hurriedly confessed to the rich gentleman, and greeted Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Ding, how can you ...... Used so many teenagers? ”
Shopkeeper Ding smiled: "Yes! They are all dolls whose parents are busy with their livelihood and are unattended, and they run to the brick and tile shop in groups to hide and seek and play with mud, and I think they have nothing to do, and it affects the work, so they simply let them help do things, and they can get a few dollars every day to go back, and their parents are very happy. ”
Ye Xiaotian was originally a little dissatisfied with the children made by Ding's shopkeeper, and he didn't want Ding's shopkeeper to show off as kindness. Take a closer look at those children, all of them are unkempt, ragged, and their family backgrounds can be imagined, presumably they can work to earn their families, and their parents are indeed very satisfied.
Ye Xiaotian beckoned to a runny boy, the boy saw that the good man who paid them was very respectful to this young man, and immediately ran over obediently, Ye Xiaotian bent down and asked, "You work here to earn money, does your father agree?" ”
Xiao Tong wiped his nose, nodded proudly, and said, "Hmm! My father and mother said that when I grew up, I could earn money for my family, and I was very promising! ”
Ye Xiaotian smiled and asked again: "Then what do you plan to do after you make money?" ”
The boy said, "I want to read!" My father said that if you want to make a living, you have to read and write, but now the family is poor and can't afford to hire a husband. ”
Ye Xiaotian thought that when he was young, his family couldn't afford to hire a husband or go to a private school, and his father took his brothers to prison, so that in order to let those convicts teach them literacy, he accompanied the smiling face to run errands for the convicts, and he couldn't help but feel sour.
The children ran back to continue moving bricks, Ye Xiaotian looked at the children's shabby clothes and thin figures thoughtfully: "Since I, the pusher, have even done things that are not doing business, such as dredging and digging ditches, it doesn't hurt to have one more, just don't do it to the end!" ”
:At the beginning of the month, we sincerely ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!.
