PS: The third update has arrived, and today's update is late, mainly because the plot is a little difficult! Some Kavin! If you want to write brilliantly, it's hard and hard!

Three days later, Wang Bin was studying, and guests came to his home.

A middle-aged man about thirty years old in a gray robe walked in and said, "Zhou Ming, you're okay!" ”

"That's it!"

Wang Bin said: "It's just that the body is still a little weak, and I still have to recuperate for a while!" ”

"Not bad, good complexion, good recovery!" The middle-aged man said: "A few days ago, your daughter-in-law grabbed medicine in my Guo family's pharmacy, and the money owed on credit, look at the amount, right!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a list of medicinal herbs.

The middle-aged man named Guo Quan opened a pharmacy in Jinhua County, with two large houses in front and back of the store, and the business was thriving, with seven or eight men taking care of him, and he was considered a wealthy family in the county.

Wang Bin took it, looked at it carefully, turned his head and asked Jiang Yue'er again: "The list is right!" ”

"Wait a minute!"

As she spoke, Jiang Yue'er took out a list, compared it carefully, and finally said, "Husband, the number is right!" It's about five dollars! ”

Guo Quan twisted his beard and said slowly: "Zhou Ming, it's almost the New Year, and the accounts should be settled." Although I don't like what I said, our pharmacy still has to support our family, and the money for medicinal materials owed by your family should also be repaid! ”

"It's time to pay it back!"

Wang Bin said, sighing in his heart.

The robbers are not as good as the ones who open the medicine shops, and the ones who open the medicine shops are too ruthless.

Guo Quan said: "I see that your family background is not good, and you are a scholar, so I will take care of you." The old man likes to read people the most, and he only charges you four times and five, and he is free of five hundred dollars! ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper Guo!"

Jiang Yue'er thanked her, and when she got to the back, she took out four and five and handed it to Guo Quan, her words full of gratitude.

Guo Quan collected the money, talked and laughed a few times before turning around and leaving.

"Shopkeeper Guo, what a good person!" Jiang Yue'er said: "This time we were exempted from five hundred dollars. The shopkeeper Guo is a great benevolent person, often administering medicine to some poor people, and also exempting some poor people's medical fees...... Even the county magistrate praised him! ”

Saying that, Jiang Yue'er talked about the various good deeds of the shopkeeper Guo.

"Yue'er, you have been deceived, and you are still thanking people if you have been deceived!" Wang Bin said: "I estimated that I only need to spend 30 yuan to cure those colds; But when I got there, I got the medicine, etc., and it became five dollars! ”

"Bandits rob and rob directly to the door to rob money; Guo's shopkeeper robbed, but we took the initiative to send money! ”

As he spoke, Wang Bin looked at the list of medicinal materials, and he was half dead of anger.

When I first came to this world, I was calculated by an aborigine and cheated by an aborigine.

Originally, there are several types of colds, some are wind chill colds, some are heat colds, and some are indigestion colds, and there are many causes of colds. As long as you prescribe the right medicine and see immediate results, you can see the effect quickly, and it may be a few days.

However, in order to make more money, some people just don't prescribe the right medicine and delay the time of illness, so as to make more money;

Originally, a few simple medicinal materials could cure the disease, but I found some expensive medicines, but fortunately, it was not good.

As a result, the disease that could have been cured in a few days has not been cured for a month; Originally, dozens of wen ago, the disease that could be cured cost five yuan, which is equivalent to 5,000 wen, which is equivalent to 5,000 yuan in later generations.

So Zhou Ming died after a long illness, and Wang Bin crossed over!

"A few dollars could have cured a cold, but it cost thousands of dollars, and it still didn't work...... What a profiteer, a doctor! Wang Bin said in his heart: "But such a profiteer and a traitorous doctor has gained a reputation for being kind and benevolent!" ”

Thinking back to the shopkeeper Guo, Wang Bin was also in awe.

It's not difficult to be a bad person, but it's hard to be a bad person, and to be praised by the world as a great good person, but it's even more difficult!

"How so!" After Jiang Yue'er learned the details, she said angrily.

"Get used to it, Yue'er!" Wang Bin said: "The way of the world is like this, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, building bridges and repairing roads without corpses!" ”

"By the way, don't talk nonsense about Yue'er!"

Wang Bin told again, this girl went outside and talked nonsense, then it would be troublesome!

"I'm not stupid, so I won't talk nonsense! Jiang Yue'er said.

Then, in the afternoon, another person came, who was the uncle of the clan.

After being polite, the clan uncle said: "Zhou Ming, you have reached the age of fifteen, and you are going to serve as a servant!" ”

Wang Bin's heart couldn't help sinking, go to his uncle's, this troublesome thing is one after another, and he won't let people live.

Since ancient times, peasants in all dynasties have had to serve forced labor in addition to farming and paying taxes. The so-called forced labor, to put it bluntly, is to work for the imperial court for free for a period of time every year, which is used to repair roads, water conservancy facilities, cities, palaces, and so on.

During the period of conscription, there was no salary to speak of, and they had to bring their own food and tools, and they relied on their own food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates that a man who is crowned at the age of fifteen is counted as an adult and has the obligation to serve in forced labor, and Wang Bin has reached the age of fifteen.

In the past, my father was a talent and was exempt from conscription; It's just that Daddy is dead, and he has to serve in forced labor!

In the previous life, working on the construction site, at least to eat and drink enough, and to have meat to eat, only when the food is good, the workers can work hard; But in this dynasty, the service of conscription did not eat well and sleep well, and it was urged by the cold wind, and there were various safety accidents, and people often fell ill, starved to death and died of exhaustion in the conscription.

Meng Jiangnu cried about the Great Wall, talking about her husband, who died in the line of labor.

His present body, which is extremely thin and weak, has just recovered from his illness, and now he is going to serve in the conscription, and he cannot say that he will die in the conscription.

"Uncle clan, you see that I am covered in bones, can I go?" Wang Bin said.

"In the past, when your father was here, he naturally didn't need to serve in forced labor, but now ...... If you can be admitted to Xiucai, you can be exempted from conscription! Uncle Clan said: "Now, you can only pay the exemption money!" At least five dollars! ”

"Okay, I'll hand it over!"

Wang Bin gritted his teeth and said, for the sake of his life, let's pay it!

That's a lot of money, at least many civilians can't afford it.

Uncle Clan left, but Wang Bin thought of crying.

One by one, only five hundred dollars remained!

In the peaceful and prosperous era, a bucket of rice was only fifteen yuan, but in today's world, a bucket of rice is three hundred yuan. Five hundred dollars, just one can buy a little six buckets. And a bucket of rice is about twelve catties. One point and six buckets, about twenty catties of rice.

According to statistics from previous life, the average person can consume a total of 1,700 kilocalories a day, which is equivalent to half a catty of rice, half a catty of meat, and about a catty of vegetables and fruits. Each person should eat at least one to two catties of grain per day.

If there is no oil, water, and no meat, they will eat more rice.

If there is less than one pound of food a day and there is no meat, it is destined to be semi-starved.

And this bit of food, Wang Bin and Jiang Yue'er can only eat for a month; If you eat more wild vegetables and save some food, two months is enough!

"What a cheat, it looks like I'm going to starve to death!"

Wang Bin smiled bitterly.

In his previous life, Zhu Ziqing starved to death if he didn't eat American flour.

And he also seems to be starving to death!
