Chapter 3 is not child's play

When the peasants come, they have to gather all the savages in the mining area, and everyone worships and kills two chickens.

If it is a large family, it will definitely kill sheep or cattle and horses, and even divinate a hexagram to see the order of cultivation, and pay attention to all kinds of things. But Yun Yao doesn't need these, and she doesn't have the money to do this, so it's okay to kill two chickens.

Uncle Zai first went back to the mining to arrange, Yun Yao still stayed on the shore to do his own work, although there is an annual income of five public fields, but in fact, it is not much, after all, as a baron, he is also responsible for the operation of the mining estate, buying sacrifices, preparing sacrificial vessels, and everything can not be less, all of which cost money.

There are two kinds of money in this year, one is millet and the other is cloth coin, that is, cloth. Food and clothing resources are money, and transactions in the national capital market are also exchanged for these two general equivalents.

The major events of the country are in the worship and Rong, after twelve years, Yun Yao is already a qualified Zhou Dynasty person, knowing that in addition to sacrifices and wars, there are other things, funerals, field hunting, and hunting are all major events, all of which need to be spent. For example, Yunyao's father's funeral two years ago emptied the family's funds, but fortunately, Yunyao's father also had some savings before his death, so the funeral was not too shabby, and there was also a horse and two bronzes in the funeral goods.

Then there is the guest expenditure, and when you come to attend the funeral, you must always have millet porridge to eat, which is another expense. In the end, I almost had to borrow. The government has a spring mansion, and there is a business that lends money to the people for emergencies, and it can be repaid within ten days at least and three months at the longest.

Yun Yao didn't borrow, but it was really hard for a year after her father's death, and it was better after the harvest of the new year, and now two years have passed before it returns to normal.

After preparing the raft to cross the river, you can do some private work, there are a few banana trees in the caiyi, and Yun Yao just uses the bark of the banana tree to make some clothes to sell.

In this year, you need to count the hexagram to see what the weather is like before going out, but unfortunately the weather does not give face to the hexagram, so people who go far away will inevitably get drenched in the rain. Now there is no popularization of the cloth, so Yun Yao made some clothes to sell to the travelers who crossed the river, and in the six months after his father died, Yun Yao relied on the promotion of clothes and handicraft products to get by, and now it has become a habit.

The sales of Lingyi are quite good, but there are no patents in these years, so Yun Yao knows that there will definitely be people copying her works, but there is no way to pursue them.

In fact, Yun Yao thought about mass production in the caiyi, and then turned into a merchant himself, after all, there is no concept of municipal agriculture and industry now, and the merchant will definitely not suffer in the Western Zhou Dynasty. But out of fear of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and now that she has a good life, she didn't dare to change drastically.

So until now, Yunyao has done some handicrafts by himself, earned some pocket money, and fished in his spare time, even if he was living.

"Hey......" There was a sound on the other side of the river.

Yun Yao, who was deaf and clear-sighted, immediately knew that there was a need for a ferry on the other side, and looked up to see a few people standing sparsely on the other side of the river, as well as a two-horsepower carriage, which seemed to be a noble person with status.

"Is the noble man going to cross the river?" Yun Yao opened her mouth and asked, crisp and loud, she said Yayan, that is, the common language of the Zhou Dynasty. There were dialects in all parts of the Zhou Dynasty, and in order to communicate with the nobles, they had to learn Yayan.

"Exactly, come here."

As soon as Yun Yao heard that there was work, he immediately dragged the canoe out and sent it into the water, then tied the raft to the back of the boat, put the gourd on the raft, and rowed over.

Yun Yao has superb rowing skills and first-class business ability, and the canoe leads the raft diagonally up the current. Some people who are not familiar with the current often make the mistake of thinking that it is enough to aim at the opposite shore and paddle, but ignore that the speed of the current can also affect the trajectory of the boat, and if it really goes straight forward, the boat will be washed diagonally downstream.

Near the center of the river, the people on the opposite side also began to get ready, getting off the bus, and moving things. The carriage will definitely not pass, but it doesn't matter, you can find another carriage to continue your journey after crossing the river.

"Your Excellency, please come aboard." Yun Yao docked the canoe: "Put the goods on the raft, and the rest of the people can cross the river with gourds." ”

"How can there be so few rafts?" Apparently someone was not happy to swim, so he complained.

"This is just a small ferry, if you want to find a big ferry, you can go fifty miles west into the capital of Xue Guoguo, the noble horsepower is enough, you can reach it before dark, and you can cross the river tomorrow." Yun Yao is used to seeing these people who like to play music, and he hates this and that, but in the end, he doesn't want to swim through.

The noble man with status looked at Yun Yao and asked, "After crossing the river, is there a car person?" ”

"Yes, there is a charioteer living in my estate." This is the bus that Guogong originally allocated to Yun Yao's father, but not many people will go out idle these days, so this car person is equivalent to a bus supporting the ferry, and passengers in need can go to invite.

"Let's go over here."

Yun Yao said: "You can take off your coat, tie the gourd under your armpit, and then put it on the side of the boat or raft, so that you can cross the river without force." ”

But there are still people who are not very happy.

"That's it, I'll count a hexagram, if it's an auspicious hexagram, we'll go over, if it's a bad hexagram, we'll go west to the capital of Xuecheng Kingdom." This middle-aged nobleman also knows that he can't force his entourage to overcome his fears, so it's better to leave it to fate, count a hexagram, and see what the hexagram says.

Yun Yao didn't smile, because this is not the first time I've seen it, people are very timid these years, and it is also a rare skill to be able to swim this year, so it is a common phenomenon that they dare not go down when they encounter water. Although it is really funny to watch, Yun Yao is a professional traverser and generally does not laugh unless he can't help it.

However, the other party's divination method is a bit of a joke that challenges Yun Yao, and he is ready to burn the fire and use the turtle shell for divination, which is too formal and too wasteful of time.

"Nobleman, you still use the plan, how much time does it take to use the turtle shell, it's February, spring ploughing is coming, everyone is so busy." Yun Yao said that it means it, is it necessary to be so grand?

"Isn't divination a child's play?" Obviously, the other party was not obedient, and took out a palm-sized turtle shell from the cloth bag, and there was a click in the cloth bag, which was estimated to be all turtle shells, and he was really a very far-sighted person.

"Okay, but let me wait here, but if you want to add millet, even if you don't get to the river, you have to pay." Yun Yao said.

"If the hexagram is not allowed, I will pay you half a pot of millet like this." The kettle is the pot, and half a pot can be eaten by one person for three days.

Since you pay, let's wait, Yun Yao watched them collect firewood, and then gathered in a circle, dancing like a great god, and the noble man knelt in front of the fire and chanted something, Yun Yao had reason to suspect that they might be from the Song Kingdom.

The people of the Song Dynasty were the remnants of the Yin merchants, who worshipped ghosts and gods and were extremely superstitious.
