Jiang Zhen was not stage frightened at all, and said with a smile; "Really, but people can follow if they don't sit, just take four coppers, and put them up."

The woman was overjoyed, she had forty pounds of rice bran in a basket, and she had to take off a layer of skin on her shoulders when she carried it back, and if she asked for a husband, she would ask for 8 copper, after all, she had to go so far, so she was helpless.

At this time, he hurriedly answered loudly; "Okay!"

As he spoke, he picked up the rice bran and put it on the board.

There may also be an old man who makes tofu in the village, bought a load of soybeans, and asked the porter to ask for 12 copper, I heard that there is only 8 copper here, of course, he chooses an ox cart.

Then, a thin man carrying a sack of brown rice came, and a crying little girl of seven or eight years old was in his hand.

"My girl doesn't walk for a long time, she broke her knee, she doesn't want to walk, can she take the car? I went to Jiangjia Village. ”

Jiangjia Village is only 15 miles, which is the village before Jiang Yi.

Jiang Zhen is very sophisticated; "Yes, you can, as long as Sanwen is fine."

When the little girl heard that she could take the car for a while, she immediately burst into tears and laughed, and clapped her palms happily.

Then, there came an old woman supported by a woman, because she came to the town to see a doctor, she had to go back to Xiejia Village, 10 miles away, but her legs and feet were inconvenient, and the woman herself was thin, so she couldn't carry her far.

After all, it is a big town, and there are four or five big villages on this road, so there are a lot of people, and after a while, there are a lot of goods piled up on the carts.

Jiang Zhen helped several cargo owners to stack the goods on the cart, took the goods a little with hemp rope, and then helped the old woman and the girl to sit at the front of the car, and told them to hold on to the handrails, and drove the ox cart in front of him to Huanshan Village.

At this time, it was getting dusk, because a carload of goods gathered together and people walking next to the car, talking and laughing together.

The big man with the brown rice on his back originally wanted to save a few copper coins, but in the end he was too tired to do it, so he put the goods on the car and walked comfortably.

Hurried all the way, some people unloaded or got off the bus on the way, and finally returned to Bujia Village when it was dark.

When the three of them returned home, they earned 32 copper on this trip.

"Great, you have to get 32 copper for one trip, more than 60 copper for a round trip, if you go back and forth two more times a day, then you can earn 200 copper? Earn 2,000 copper ...... in ten days" Bu Ru was dumbfounded, not daring to count down.

Jiang Yi snorted and laughed; "20 miles, it takes about an hour for a normal person and a cow to walk, plus the waste of unloading on the way back and forth, waiting for some time, up to two times a day. And it is impossible to have so many goods every trip, you need to make a discount, 150 copper a day is about the same, and then it is the cost of cattle, it pulls four cars a day, the nutrition must be better, at least one pound of soybeans should be fed every morning, plus forage artificial, it is very good to make a net profit of 100 copper a day. ”

A hundred copper is not a lot, and the faces of the two men showed an excited light.

"Chunya's brain is just easy to use, and I can come up with such a good idea." Bu Ru did not hesitate to praise at this time.

Jiang Yi glanced at him and said with a smile; "This is taking advantage of the location, if there is such a smooth road, the ox cart will not be able to do it."

After a pause, he said; "Brother, your performance today is very good, you will be responsible for driving the car in the future, okay?"

"Okay," Jiang Zhen nodded happily, he was depressed because he didn't have a loach to catch, now he can catch a car, he can go to town every day, it's very fun.

"You have to remember that you can't be greedy for a car, you can pull about 1,200 catties at a time, if you don't know how to estimate, just remember; The basket is up to 10 quintals, and the sack is up to 12 bags. ”

Jiang Zhen listened carefully and nodded constantly.

Jiang Yi continued; "If you can be lucky, you won't be lucky, and if you insist on sitting, don't have more than three people." A person rarely weighs hundreds of pounds, because the cars are basically old people and children.

In fact, she also thought about whether it would be dangerous to pull people, but the speed of the ox cart is really not fast, and there are handrails on the front of the car, even if you fall down, you can't fall to death.

And people in this era have not yet learned to touch porcelain and slander people, and they will not make a mistake because they break their knees, even so, try not to pull people if they can.

"Mmmmmm, Jiang Zhen nodded excitedly."

"I'll give you ten copper a day for you to drive, but try not to eat in the town, I'll leave you food......" thought about it and said; In this way, I'll follow you first during this time, and you come back at night to learn arithmetic with me, and after a while you are familiar with it, and then follow this plan alone, okay? ”

"Good!" Jiang Zhen agreed.

Rushing to the town every day, this is almost equivalent to playing for Jiang Zhen, so he is very happy.

Jiang Yi looked at his excited younger brother, and actually felt a little indebted to him, but now he didn't have much money, and he hoped that he would make some money in the past two years, and then find a way out for his younger brother and learn something.

Jiang Yi thought about it and said to Bu Ru again; "Brother Ru'er, tomorrow you call Brother Da Ma and ask him to help build a bamboo house on the wasteland on the side of the road, okay? It should be at least 10 steps long and 5 steps wide. Separate a bedroom and a utility room, you can put a board car, and the rest should not be separated, do you think it's okay? ”

Now that there is a cart, it is impossible for two people to carry it back every day, and there is a wasteland under a few trees on the side of the road, which should be regarded as a borderless land, and at this time it is basically whoever occupies it is whom.

Even if the owner comes forward at that time, it will be a big deal to buy it with some money.

"Okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Bamboo has its own home, not enough to buy some, although the bamboo house is not very good, but used to pile up sundries, cars and cattle, reluctantly use it for a period of time before talking, if there is money in the future, then change.

Although I don't have much money in my hand, and I have about 400 copper left in my hand, the salary is not enough, but the ox cart has a daily income here, and the salary should still be affordable.

Early the next morning, the two siblings parked their cars on the side of the road, and when they saw a villager carrying something to the town, they took the initiative to greet them and ask if they wanted to take a ride.

They were all familiar with the village, and everyone smiled at their solicitation, and some even teased them.

But because some people didn't realize the convenience of the ox cart, or were reluctant to pay for it, some people refused, and some people didn't say a word to carry the goods onto the cart, and waited for two quarters to plant, only waiting for six baskets and three sacks of goods.

Because there were not many things, the two siblings also got on the ox cart.

When I got to the town, I waited for another quarter of an hour, five sacks and five baskets of goods, and half of the goods were unloaded halfway.

Such a round trip, the freight is only more than 40 copper.

When I went home at noon, Bu Ru had already called someone to measure the wasteland and discuss how to build it.

After a casual lunch, the two siblings hit the road again, this time with less cargo and only a sack of stuff in the car.

Because most of the people who go out go out in the morning, there are fewer people going to the town at this time.

But fortunately, I encountered a basket and a bag of sacks on the road, and the income was not too small.

But when he came back, it was amazing, around the time of Shen Shi in the afternoon, everyone who rushed to the market was ready to go home, so Jiang Zhen just opened his voice and shouted, and many people came around.

So this time I returned with a full load, and pulled a person, twelve baskets and eight sacks, fortunately five of these sacks were cotton, otherwise it would have been more than 1,200 catties.

At the end of the day, the income adds up to 110 copper, which is okay.
