Because of time, they didn't go to Yang Rong's brother in the end, and three days later, the two came to the county seat again.

Before coming, Wang Fang counted his silver, and there was not much left, so in desperation, he could only secretly find ten taels of silver from his mother's money jar, fortunately his mother came back once every half a month, and fortunately she would not check the money jar when she was free.

What's more, most of the money in this money jar was earned because of his own ear mushroom secret recipe, and Wang Fang's heart was at ease.

It's just that I really didn't expect that my mother actually saved more than fifty taels of silver, copper coins and silver nuggets mixed together, and filled two money jars, one of which was still hidden under the bluestone slab of the thatched house, if it wasn't for her own son, no one could find the storage place of the money jar.

With peace of mind, he took out ten taels of silver from the money jar, and carefully placed the money jar, Wang Fang made up his mind that sooner or later, he would fill the two money jars and exchange them all for gold when the time came.

Because I want to meet Brother Yang Rong, I got up very early today.

This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, at the moment, he is already an adult, if it were not for the change in his family, I am afraid that he would have been married, coupled with many years of study experience, it looks quite bookish.

After the four of them finished eating briefly, they left separately, and Wang Fang took Yang Rong and the second brother and walked in the direction of Guandi Temple.

There were already more than fifty beggars waiting in the temple, and more than a dozen able-bodied fellows took the lead in running to the king's side, vying for silver.

did not shirk, and after smiling and giving out ten taels of silver, Wang Fang did not leave, and walked around outside the Guandi Temple for a quarter of an hour, and returned to the Guandi Temple again.

"Why are you back again, do you want to pray for Emperor Guan's blessing."

"Don't talk nonsense, when I'm a person, I hate to pray to God and worship Buddha the most."

While speaking, sitting respectfully in front of the statue of Emperor Guan, Wang Fang pointed in the direction outside and said: "The twenty guys who just received the money, none of them can be trusted, and the eighth is the backbone behind the beggar organization." ”

After finishing speaking, he paused, just in time to see someone coming in outside the door, Wang Fang said with a smile: "The one who comes now is the right person." ”

Half a tael of silver is considered a huge fortune, and the main purpose is to attract the attention of the organization behind the beggar, and it has never thought of selecting people through this half tael of silver.

And Shiwen Dazi, when it is enough for beggars to beg, help Wang Fang pay attention to the candidates on the portrait, if there are more, then it is not an equivalent exchange, but a simple purchase problem.

Only those who don't care about the half tael of silver in the back, just take ten copper plates, and still want to help Wang Fang find someone, are responsible and grateful people.

This is a simple ruse, but also in the previous life of some companies to select an important method of employees, many company bosses interview, like to more or less tell employees that they have little chance of becoming regular, but the company is short of manpower, temporarily recruit them to help.

If the candidate really gives up on himself and mixes the salary, such a person will naturally not be appointed, and when a person knows that he will not become a regular, but he still does his duty, such a person will be reused.

As for the beggar at the moment, he has shown his kindness, whether there is silver behind him or not, as long as he still maintains a grateful heart, he will never ignore the ten literary sons he has sent before, and the portrait he chooses is not so simple, which also has the effect of examining whether the candidate is careful.

A thin teenager with an obviously broken leg walked in with a limp and said to Wang Fang: "What they said just now is not right, the person in your portrait is not Aunt Cai, it should be Aunt Li, Aunt Cai has no mole under her neck, only Aunt Li's neck has a mole." ”

Looking at the other party with a smile and looking at it a few times, the young man in front of him had no intention of asking for money, and after arching his hand, he said goodbye and left.

Good observation, good courage, important is gratitude, and a sense of responsibility.

After passing the level, a few more people came one after another, some of them simply wanted to mix silver, and a few really saw the difference in the portraits.

After careful consideration, he finally selected the candidates for the three people, pointed to the few people who had just left, and said to Yang Rong: "Those people just now, do you remember their appearances." ”

Yang Rong nodded vigorously, and turned to Wang Fang with disdain: "You are so treacherous. ”

"It's not treacherous, it's just an exam."

Shaking his head, he left from Guandi Temple with Yang Rong, it was already approaching afternoon at this moment, and it was time to go home.

Next, I went to the county seat twice, using different portraits, and finally selected nine candidates, asked Yang Rong's brother, found the place where these nine people often begged, and made a detailed observation, and finally decided.

A month later, in early spring, the dusty second uncle and He Yongding finally returned.

"The tiger was sold, a total of three hundred and forty taels of silver, of which the tiger skin was only sold for two hundred taels, and the leather shopkeeper in Jinling City said that the complete tiger skin could be sold for at least one thousand taels, but when the idlers couldn't afford the price, and after waiting for two days, it was about to rot, so I could only sell it cheaply."

The second uncle talked to Wang Fang for a long time with a ashamed face, as if he was extremely distressed about his cheap sale.

Wang Fang shook his head, too lazy to say anything, such a complete product, naturally it is impossible to sell only two hundred taels, it is estimated that the shopkeeper of the leather store has already discussed with the nearby merchants, and no one can offer a high price, just wait for the tiger skin to rot.

For farmers who have no way, even if they know that the tiger skin in their hands can be sold at a high price, they can't find a suitable shipping channel, so they can only deal with it as soon as possible while the tiger skin is not rotten.

Neither the second uncle nor He Yongding is blamed for such a thing, but he can only say that he is too eager and has no means to nitrate.

"Don't worry about the tiger skin for now, what about the goods I want?"

Tiger skin is just a trivial matter, only sweet potatoes are the key, hearing Wang Fang's inquiry, the second uncle said excitedly: "I bought it all, a full 20,000 catties, no one knows this thing, the price is still high, except for the children of some big families who will try it, no one in the nearby farmers buys it." ”

"Five cents per catty, which is about the same price as coarse grains, cost a total of ninety taels of silver, and the merchants who sold the goods discounted it......"

The price is okay, after all, it is impossible for the shipping merchants to lose too much, and secondly, ordinary people do not know the output of this thing, otherwise they will definitely rush to buy it.

Hearing that the second uncle didn't say how to dispose of it, Wang Fang said eagerly: "How much is it shipped back?" ”

"A total of 20,000 catties, 12,000 catties were transported back, of which 6,000 catties were destroyed on the spot, and 2,000 catties were damaged on the road."

As he spoke, a silver bag was handed to Wang Fang, which was mixed with a few silver tickets and a few large silver ingots.

After a simple glance, Wang Fang frowned and said, "Why is there so much missing!" ”

"Forty taels of them are the money for hiring ox carts, as well as the boat money for boats, and forty taels are the money for buying clothes.

"How many clothes did you buy, it's so expensive!"

The blue tendons on his forehead jumped violently, and there was a vague sense of foreboding.

"I didn't buy much, two in total."

While speaking, the second uncle went to get the package on the car and said: "This dress is really beautiful, one is twenty taels, one is twenty-five taels, and the two pieces add up to forty taels." ”

After taking the package in the hands of the second uncle, Wang Fang had an urge to vomit blood, a full forty taels, close to five catties, equivalent to the living expenses of an ordinary farmer for five years, so he changed these two fluttering clothes.

Shaking off his shirt and taking a look, he didn't care about appreciating the gorgeousness, and the second uncle on the side was still sighing: "The ready-to-wear of Yunfangxuan is beautiful, and these two are still the cheapest, and one of the splendid auspicious shirts worn by scholars is priced at six hundred taels, which almost scared me to death." ”

"Hehe, yes, I was almost scared to death, I bought these two broken things for forty taels, and I didn't look good in the coat with cartoon patterns printed in later generations."

He gritted his teeth and muttered two sentences, and his heart was full of hatred for Manniang.

The goods were bought, transported directly to the mountains, and some supplies were transported in, and then, it was time to act.
