Chapter 511: He's Really Literate
The last time Lu Ning landed, he still had some self-defense things in his hand, as well as some silver tickets.
But this time, he wore a half-worn brown shortshirt and trousers, and a pair of straw sandals, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a rich man.
The only thing he brought with him was the certificate of the household in his own house issued by Zhu Biao, and he was filled in with the landless and homeless people, and this time he didn't even have the identity of the showman last time.
With this certificate, he can find an ordinary job in a nearby village or town, which of course can be regarded as a virtue of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Due to years of war, the land has been barren to the point that no one cultivates, and there are many displaced people in the market, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted a series of policies to help the displaced people in order to maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, Lu Ning, he can rely on his exile certificate to register with the local government and county, and prepare to farm.
The local government can provide shelter and give him tools for ploughing cattle.
If you don't want to use the existing land of the government, but open up the land yourself, you can also be exempted from rent and tax for three years.
It stands to reason that he should not be hungry, but the profit from agriculture is ten times, although he can also support his family, but the effect is too slow, and the most profitable person is business, and the profit from business is a hundred times.
It's just that this is all for later, and what he urgently needs to solve now is that it is already noon, and his stomach is rumbling, and he must be calmed down.
It's a pity that from a wealthy merchant to a prince, he has been pampered for many years, and it has taken a lot of physical strength to find a way in the barren mountains and mountains, and he really doesn't have the physical strength to find the nearest villages and towns.
At this moment, I suddenly saw an open-top bullock cart coming from the opposite side, driven by a middle-aged man, pulling a basket or two of eggs.
Of course, in addition to these two baskets of eggs, Lu Ning was also attracted by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.
This little girl was wearing a pink jacket, her face was childish, and her eyes were flickering, very smart.
Seeing a young man in his twenties looking at her, he naturally wanted to stop talking.
The middle-aged man who was driving the car frowned and said.
"I'm most annoyed by this kind of idle person, just staring at the second slipper who is looking at the big girl, this kind of person is not a thing, let's ignore him and leave quickly."
Lu Ning smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking in his heart.
Isn't it fragrant for me to be the protector of the king in the court? I had to be more energetic, and I didn't take a tael of silver, so I came out pretending to be an escape, and I was regarded as a gangster if I wanted to take a ride.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt very depressed: Xiongying, a bear child, why is he so honest-eyed, the master said that he didn't want a tael of silver, so you didn't give a tael of silver?
Even if you don't want to give silver, give a few gold leaves, the world belongs to your old Zhu family, this is not too much to ask, right?
It's a pity that he doesn't have the strength to walk now, even if he regrets it and wants to return to the court to enjoy the blessings, he can't contact him.
For now, it's better to try to get a ride, find the town first, and then think about making money.
A manly man, why is there no wealth.
So, he forced his body to follow the ox cart unhurriedly, and finally the little girl relented.
"Daddy, look at this person is very pitiful, there are still fifteen or sixteen miles away from the county seat, otherwise let's take him for a while."
The middle-aged man snorted and said.
"What do you do with him, it's not a good thing at first glance, Xiao Rong, you have to calculate these eggs for us today, this is the same miscalculation as last time, then we will drink the northwest wind."
Xiao Rong smiled bitterly and said.
"I don't know how to read, and I can only draw the way when I settle accounts, and before I finish the calculation, people have already said it for me, who knows if what he said is right or wrong."
"Why are you so stupid?"
"People want to study, you have to say what books the girls read, no one will settle accounts for you this time, you deserve it."
This Xiao Rong is also very spicy, sitting in the car, while carefully wiping the dust on the eggs in the basket, while replying to his father.
The old man frowned and said.
"It seems that we are going to ask a literate gentleman to help us settle the accounts, but those guys are too black-hearted, and they have to give them one-third of the money from selling these eggs, doesn't this bully honest people?"
The two of them were arguing in the car, but Lu Ning saw an opportunity.
"This uncle, do you really lack a person to settle accounts, I am literate and can settle accounts, or hire me, I don't want one-third of your income to be paid, I only need one-tenth of it?"
The old man heard that Lu Ning said that he would settle accounts, so he killed the car brake and said.
"Look at your dress, you can't even afford a long gown, and you don't look like a literate person."
Lu Ning looked at him and asked.
"How do you know I'm illiterate?"
The old man thought for a moment and said.
"The two dogs in the east of our village can recite the three-character scripture, and if you have the ability, you can also recite a paragraph for me, and I will listen to it."
Lu Ning thought to himself: I thought you were going to test my Baguwen, it turned out to be this kind of enlightenment reading, even if I wasn't good, I wouldn't even know this.
So, he opened his mouth and came.
"At the beginning of people, sex is good, sex is close to each other, habits are far away, and sex is ...... if you don't teach."
The old man gave him another twig and continued to question.
"Write me what you memorized, I'm going to check my homework, you can't fool me anyway, I'm a very smart person."
This also couldn't stop Lu Ning, he squatted on the ground and wrote down the few sentences he memorized with a branch, and the old man called Xiao Rong.
"Girl, what do you see he wrote, is this a word?"
Xiao Rong blinked and said.
"Daddy, I don't know these words."
Lu Ning immediately deflated: "How can you test me if you don't know how to read?" ”
Xiao Rong blinked and said.
"I don't know the three-character scripture, but I can write my name, and you have the ability to write the three words of Wang Xiaorong for me."
Lu Ning picked up the branch and wrote the three words, and Xiao Rong immediately cheered.
"He's really literate, although his handwriting is not very good, but it's already very good!"
