(Bitter Reading) "I just think it's good to do things in the right name, although it costs more, but it will always be more convenient in the future." Lu Yan continued.

"So, what kind of future do you want to be?" The master looked at him and asked suddenly.

When he asked these words suddenly, Lu Yan was a little surprised, and looked at this thin and somewhat obscene old man.

The old man did not dare to meet his gaze as before, but raised his head and looked at himself with a solemn face.

Lu Yan smiled.

"What future can a person like me have, but everyone can eat and sleep well, and it is enough that they will not be expelled and killed like pigs and dogs." He laughed.

"The adult has now controlled the entire salt road near the big salt pond, even the salt merchants in Hezhong Mansion dare not say a word to the adult, now the official salt is abandoned, and the price of private salt is high, just with this one input, the adult has a thousand taels of silver every month." The master said slowly, pinching his fingers.

Lu Yan just asked him to assist in the official affairs of the Salt Patrol Division, and other other matters were still in the hands of his cronies, especially when it came to money, even if there were only four or five people among the cronies who knew the details, this master actually opened his mouth and said a rough idea of the profit.

Lu Yan's face was not displeased, it was still faint.

"Don't blame me, no one told Lao Er, it's just that Lao Er has been mixed in these three religions and nine streams for half his life, and he can calculate it himself." The master bowed down again and said, while raising his body again and continued, "As Lao Er said, the lord has wealth, and his subordinates have arrogance and bravery, in the position of the Xie County Inspection Division, as long as you don't want to leave, no one can force you to go." It's no problem to be a rich man for the rest of your life, why spend a lot of money to ask for this nine-grade inspection position, and besides, I heard that adults have let people go out to recruit archers again? And shouted out the high price of ten taels of silver per month....."

Lu Yan smiled gently, just looked at him, and didn't say anything.

"My lord, now a woman's small maid is only selling for two taels of silver...."The master also looked at him and said slowly, "I'm afraid that the people who are coming here this time are only a few thousand but a few hundred, right?" ”

"Almost," Lu Yan smiled and nodded. "To this day, a thousand people have been temporarily accepted.."

One thousand, this number still exceeded the master's expectations, and he couldn't help but lose his temper slightly.

"A thousand people .." He unconsciously counted a number and blurted out, "My lord." How much money does this have to be raised! ”

In terms of function, the inspection department belongs to the military defense, but it is different from those guards, and there is no regular army. The archers under the command are only from the local peasants, and these archers of the inspection and inspection department are not supported by the imperial court, but are responsible for the inspection department itself, so as far as the master knows, these inspection divisions. Lu Yan, who raised so many archers, was the first one here.

Now the world is in turmoil, and the Tartar plague is full of disasters. Human life is the cheapest and worthless, and it is not a court guard, so it is crazy to raise so many idlers.

"So I've been a little short of money lately, and it's not enough for us to make money just by relying on the boundary of Hezhong Mansion." Lu Yan nodded and leaned back in the chair, a little sad on his face, and looked at the master with a little sincerity, "I haven't read, and we people haven't seen the world, whether we are officials or doing business, we have to ask you to guide me." ”

You haven't seen the world yet! The master wailed in his heart. A small inspection department raises thousands of archers, and there are really not many people who have seen this world.

"What are your plans, my lord?" The master pondered for a moment. He looked at Lu Yan with unconcealed inquiring surprise in his eyes.

"Didn't I say that?" Lu Yan smiled gently and picked up the pen again. "It's just that everyone eats and sleeps well, and they don't be expelled and killed like pigs and dogs."

The master didn't ask anymore, just looked at the young man in front of him, since getting along, this young man has made him feel more and more unnegotiable.

A strange thought suddenly arose in his heart, perhaps, the time when he inadvertently missed the opportunity to escape and was caught by this group of people was the turning point of his fate in his life.

"However, the master has to deal with that matter as soon as possible." Lu Yan said again, looking up at his master.

The master was clever and came back from the chaotic thoughts, and suddenly he was full of sorrow, he thought that the adults wanted to leave this boring child and forget it.

"I see, I'll figure it out again," he said, dejectedly.

In fact, isn't it just to marry a daughter-in-law, for a person who dares to raise a thousand archers, it is a big deal, and the other party is not a wealthy and powerful family, but adults have so many scruples, and they are afraid of scaring others and tarnishing their reputations, so they make a low voice and sneak around, which is really a headache.

He bowed down and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Lu Yan's mouth.

"You haven't taught me to read and write yet," Lu Yan pointed to the hundred family names on the table, and said with a smile, "Master, sit down." ”

After a few days passed, there was no expected business to come to the door, Liu Meibao was a little frustrated, it seems that things like Wang Liuqi are not common, too, thinking of the fake Chinese medicine he concocted, Song Langzhong, who has mediocre skills, can tell at a glance, not to mention those big pharmacies and big medicine stores, and it is a beginner like Wang Liuqi and a processed Chinese patent medicine that gave her a chance.

Although no one has appeared since Lu Yan proposed marriage that day, Liu Meibao is still locked up at home, there is not much housework, and she is unwilling to learn from those female celebrities, and she is a little bored every day.

There was a sound outside the door, it was Zhou Liangyu who came back from collecting firewood, and she hurriedly put down the book in her hand and hurriedly opened the door.

Zhou Liangyu was carrying a bundle of firewood, carrying an empty frame in his hand, followed by a man with two paper bags in his hands.

"This is to find my sister to learn medicine." Zhou Liangyu explained.

Hearing his words, Liu Meibao's face was vigilant, and Song Sanniang also stopped weaving and walked out of the house.

"It was me who went to Song Lang's Chinese medicine shop to deliver medicine, and I met him who was arguing with Song Langzhong...."Zhou Liangyu naturally knew about the inexplicable woman that day, and hurriedly explained.

"What kind of bullshit, I can't even tell the truth of a medicine." The man interjected at this time and said, "It's obvious that it doesn't work after eating, but it's true..."

He was about forty years old, with a full beard, and he looked very rough and spoke very roughly.

Loud neighbors all looked in.

"I heard that you, a little lady, can distinguish between true and fake medicines, so you can take a look." He then spoke loudly, and everyone on the street could hear him.

Hearing Song Langzhong, Liu Meibao let down her vigilance.

"Where's the gentleman?" She asked.

"What kind of gentleman was born, just call me Cao Da, I am an iron shop in Guangong Temple on West Street." He said grinningly, handing over the medicine bag in his hand.

Liu Meibao stretched out her hand to take it, and while inviting him to sit in the courtyard, the man also stepped in unceremoniously, saw Song Sanniang, and hurriedly saluted her.

"Sanniang, it's always been good." He said, obviously recognizing Song Sanniang.

"You live on West Street?" Song Sanniang asked, returning the salute shallowly.

The Zhou family used to have a big mansion on West Street.

"That's right, Master Zhou used to fight in my shop." The man said.

Hearing him mention her deceased husband, Song Sanniang hung her head and said nothing, and the man also felt that this topic was not very good, so he touched his head and didn't speak.

Liu Meibao had already opened the medicine bag at this time and looked at the medicine seriously.

"This is all from Song Lang's shop?" She asked.

Cao Da nodded.

"That should be no problem, I was where I was before, and I've seen all the medicines I entered." Liu Meibao said with a smile, and still read it carefully, these are commonly used medicines, and there is indeed no problem.

"Oh, since the little lady said so, I'm relieved." Cao Daben said, stood up, and took out a bag of money, "Is this money enough?" ”

Liu Meibao was startled and hurriedly waved her hand.

"This, no need, this medicine, no money." She laughed.

"How's that going to happen?" Cao shouted loudly and threw the money on the table, "Do you think I have no money Cao Da?" ”

"That's not what I mean, it's just that I don't really need so much money.." Liu Meibao said, what else to say, seeing that Cao Da hesitated slightly, as if he thought of something.

"That's ten dollars." He bent down and picked up the money bag, took out ten coins from it, and put it on the table, "It's not much, is it?" ”

This always sounds a little strange, Liu Meibao flashed a thought, but he couldn't say anything strange.

"It's really.." She was a little embarrassed, and she had to say something more.

"What? The little lady is only willing to learn about those good things such as ejiao and ginseng, and we can't look down on these medicines? Cao Da was a little unhappy and said.

"I didn't mean that, I mean you do.." This business is too different from a business, Liu Meibao didn't know what to say, thought about it, reached out and picked up five yuan, "Then let's do it, you can find a pack of medicine for a maximum of 100 yuan, and I will charge you 5 yuan." ”

"It's just five cents." Cao Daba clicked his mouth, "Wuwen is Wuwen." ”

It stands to reason that he should be a bargain for money, why does it sound like he is too low to give money? Seeing that Cao Da packed up his things and thanked him and left, Liu Meibao frowned.

"It looks like I'm taking care of my business, but I don't really need to identify medicine." She shook her head.

Since they are the people in the city, they must be the same as the fourth child in Song Lang Middle Road, and they pity their family in their hearts, and now they have this excuse to help.

Listening to her speculation, Song Sanniang also nodded.

"So what do we do? To accept it or not to accept it? Liu Meibao asked embarrassedly.
