"The firewood room is on the first floor, just bring the carriage over, what to move?" The young man said impatiently. And then! Stretching out his hand, he begged, "Give me the knife coin!" Ask for a knife! ”

The knife is a kind of Song coin, and it is also a common one in the market. In the Song Kingdom, not only the Song State sword coins were popular, but also the common coins of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the coins of the Chu and Jin States. The Song State was a resource country and was very wealthy. It is rich in lacquerware and minerals, and the land area is okay, but the population is smaller. So! The knife coin of the Song Kingdom still has a certain market share.

One of the main reasons for the small population of the Song Kingdom was because of the war! There were few wars in the Song Kingdom, but! In order to maintain their luxurious life, for the stability of the country, and for the sake of the neighboring countries such as the Jin and Chu states, the kings and nobles often participated in the wars launched by the great powers. Outcome! Often the army of the Song State became cannon fodder and died in battle. Some people died in every war, and over the years, the population of the Song Kingdom was so small.

Min Ziqian had no choice but to take out a knife coin, count out thirty coins from it, and hand it to the young man. Other than that! Also gave a knife coin to the guy as a tip.

The young man took the money, counted it several times before he could count it clearly, held the thirty knife coins in his hand, and stuffed the other knife coin into his pocket, then changed his face and tone, and led the way in front of him, to the firewood room.

When he arrived at the firewood room, Confucius got out of the carriage and looked into the firewood room.

The firewood house is in the backyard, with the horse shed and so on. You can smell the stench in the stable.

The side of the firewood house facing the courtyard has no walls, only railings. There is a wall on the outside side. The wind outside can't blow in, but! The wind in the yard can also be poured in. It shouldn't be too cold at night, anyway, it's much better than sleeping in the wild.

Zilu and Min Ziqian were still not at ease, so they moved the books on the carriage to the firewood room. Originally! It is okay not to park the carriage at the door of the firewood house. But Confucius loves books like life, if you don't move, if something happens, you lose it or it rains, you will only say that you are lazy.

After the young man had brought the man into place, he went to the shopkeeper to report the accounts, and did not come to participate in the book. What he didn't expect was that he asked for a high price for the shopkeeper, and the other party agreed. And! He was also given a knife coin as a tip.

Hey! It's cheap!

When he came to the front room and found the shopkeeper, the young man happily handed the thirty Song State knife coins to the shopkeeper. Said triumphantly: "I opened my mouth to ten Song country knife coins per person, and I also wanted a knife, no bed and no bedding, and they actually agreed." Hey! ”

"Hmmm! Good! The shopkeeper counted the coins, and then took out five coins and handed them to him. Praised: "Not bad! Not bad! Good! You're good at business! In today's situation, you are a fool if you don't kill them! You know what? Today! In the whole town, not only can you have money to live in a room, but even if you spend the night, no one will borrow it, you don't raise the market price, are you stupid? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"But! In the off-season in the future, as long as someone lives in the hotel, you have to agree to it, and no matter how low the price is, you will live there. It's better than nothing, right? Isn't it? Later! People may come back! Isn't it? People say! That inn is cheap! Isn't it? It brings you a lot of customer ......"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The young man stuffed the knife coins into his pocket and said, "When there are more customers, there will be more customers, and the price will be raised by labor and management." Labor and management have a reason, and labor and management say that labor and management have good service, delicious food, and ...... aroma of wine."

"Hehehe!" The shopkeeper smiled: "The son can be taught!" ”

Min Ziqian thought that the young man was a newcomer and had not yet learned to do business, but it turned out that he was not! He is a profiteer, full of bad water.

Confucius shook his head after looking at the situation in the firewood room. Ten Song country knife coins, and it is also a loss for people to say. Even if you live in a first-class room and have everything, it won't cost ten knife coins. Alas! The way of the world! What's going on? Isn't this taking advantage of the fire?

Zilu and Min Ziqian moved the book to the firewood room, and when they saw that the firewood room was full of dry branches and firewood, not thatched firewood, there was no place to sleep at all, so they couldn't help but shake their heads. I had no choice but to move the book to another place, leaning on the side of the pile of dry branches as a bench, and preparing to sit on the book and lean against the pile of dry branches at night, making do for a night.

Confucius saw that the young man could not come to serve the horses, so he had to go over and unload the chariot, and lead the horse to the stable and tie it up. And then! Hugged a hug of horse feed to feed the horse.

"Yay! You? Zilu happened to come over, and when he saw that the horse material that Confucius was holding was the worst kind of dried orange pole, he couldn't help but blame him.

He took back the horse material that Confucius had brought over, and then brought a pot of grain flour from the concentrate room and poured it into the manger. And then! Then he went and fetched a bucket of water and poured it into another drinking trough.

"You don't even know what horses eat, you? You? Alas! ”

"I don't know the grains, don't you know?" Confucius said self-deprecatingly.

"You don't divide the grains, how can you save the world?"

"What does this have to do with saving the world?" Confucius argued.

"Why doesn't it matter?" Zilu stiffened his neck and said, "You don't know why everything is born, how can you talk about life?" ”

Confucius defended: "People from all walks of life in the world, where can I understand everything? No one can be proficient in everything! Isn't it? You just need to know one or a few lines in life, right? ”

"How many lines do you know?" Zilu asked.

"In addition to teaching, I used to be a Confucian student, and I would blow the trumpet and handle funerals for people! I also worked as a priest in Lu country! ”

"Cut! Cut! Cut! When Zilu heard this, he couldn't help but despise it.

That's it! The little guy ran again. Seeing Zilu putting the grain flour in the manger, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Guest officer! Do you know how to feed the horses? ”

"Why can't I feed the horses?" Zilu's eyes widened and he said angrily. "I have two horses at home!"

"You just brag! You? ”

"I blow the horse!"

"If you knew how to feed horses, you wouldn't use all the fine horse feed, you?"

The young man said, went to the side of the hay and brought a pot of finely cut horse grass, and! Pick up the flour in the manger, sprinkle it on the fine horse grass, mix it, and pour it into the manger.

"That's what it's like to feed the horses! You? After doing everything, the young man yelled at Zilu: "You are also feeding horses?" ”

"Oh! Turns out you're a horse feeder! Zilu said sarcastically.

"I'm feeding the horses?" When the young man heard this, he was very angry and said, "I can do anything!" ”

"Did you grow hair? Did you grow hair? Zilu asked.

"It's long!" The young man said unconvinced.

"Then you can be your own child?" Zilu said angrily: "The night you got married, do you know where to start? You? ”

Seeing that the young man was deflated, Zilu smiled proudly: "Have you ever seen a woman's naked body?" You? ”

"Giggles!" In a room on the second floor, a woman's snickering could be heard.

When the young man noticed that someone was watching his joke, he immediately became embarrassed and said, "I'm still busy, I won't tell you!" ”

"You're a little thing, just growing hair and you're out there to be a man? You? Zilu sneered in the back.

Confucius saw that Zilu was causing trouble again, so he didn't bother to stop it and went to the firewood house. It's useless to stop it, Zilu has this temper and refuses to admit defeat.
