Chapter 203: People are stupid and have a lot of money, and they make a sensation in the city
The dispute between the two families of Lu An and Lu Chen has whetted the appetite of the people of Yangzhou City to eat melons.
It was already shocking that a little-known kid openly challenged the two great families.
What's more, this incident actually alarmed Chu Yin, the lord of Jiangnan, and hundreds of people wanted to continue to see how this scene would end.
Although most people are not optimistic about Lu An, Yangzhou Mansion Yin's humble attitude in front of Lu An, as well as the appearance of Chu Yin, still make some people more and more interested.
Among these people, most of them are ordinary people who have suffered from the hardships of the two great families of Lu and Chen.
Unfortunately, the cyclamen restaurant was tightly sealed by hundreds of soldiers, and many people who wanted to see the excitement had no choice but to leave.
Until the next morning, some unwilling people once again unanimately shook to the vicinity of the cyclamen restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the people found that two eye-catching notices had been posted at the entrance of the restaurant.
A few scholars shook their heads and read to the illiterate people in front of the notice.
"From today onwards, Jingyuexuan Villa in Danyang County will purchase a large amount of sea sand."
"Sea sand is required to be pure white, and it is purchased at a penny per catty."
"But if someone transports the sea sand to Jingyuexuan in Danyang County, no matter who it is, it will be settled by the catty, and the quantity is not limited, and the more work will be rewarded."
"Successfully transported the sea sand to Danyang County, according to the bill issued by Jingyuexuan, you can directly go to Yangzhou Mansion Yin to settle the money, and there will be no arrears."
"Lu An, the owner of Jingyue Xuan, has reserved 100,000 taels of silver tickets in advance at the Yin office of Yangzhou Mansion as the funds for the purchase of sea sand, and will continue to increase the reserve fund in the future, please rest assured that you can transport it without worrying about the settlement of wages."
After the scholars read the contents of the notice, the surrounding people suddenly exploded.
The servants of the Lu family and the Chen family secretly sent to the nearby family, and after receiving the news, they returned home as soon as possible and reported to the head of the family.
As for the cyclamen restaurant, more and more people gathered in front of the restaurant, and there were many discussions about the notice posted by Lu An.
"What is the origin of this Lu Gongzi? He was so generous that he took out 100,000 taels of silver to buy sea sand at once? ”
"The most ridiculous thing is that this Lu Gongzi spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy things, but the white sea sand can be seen everywhere on the seaside, is it possible that his money is really so much that it can be wasted casually?"
"Not necessarily! Otherwise, why would people dare to openly go against the Plains Chen clan and the Qinghe Lu clan? ”
"Well, in this way, it seems that Lu Gongzi really has a certain amount of financial resources, and the Chen family and the Lu family will have a bad life in the future!"
"Hehe, brother, you don't know the Chen family and the Lu family too well, that's a family that hasn't fallen for thousands of years, how can a kid who hasn't grown hair be able to compete!"
"If you want me to say, what kind of Lu Gongzi is just a second ancestor who relies on a little money in his family and acts recklessly!"
"When he has endured enough hardships and tosses away the family's money, he will know how rich the two great families of Lu and Chen are!"
"Hey, no matter how they fight, the key is what this Lu Gongzi said on the notice, will it be true?"
"This loser said that buying sea sand at a penny and a pound is not equivalent to picking up money?"
"Yes, according to a carriage loaded with six thousand catties, you can earn six taels of silver this trip!"
"That's right, the closest beach in Danyang County to our side will be there in one day, even if you borrow money to get a carriage, it won't take more than a month for a person, not only can you earn back the money for the carriage, but you can also have a lot of money left."
"We can't afford a carriage, but we can make a lot of money by working together, some of them are specialized in sand fishing on the beach, and the other part is specialized in transportation and loading and unloading."
"Yes, yes, yes, this is a good idea, although we don't have the capital to buy a carriage, but we have the strength, even if we specialize in fishing sand on the beach, we can almost earn a few hundred wen a day, if we cooperate with more carriages, even if we earn a couple of silver a day, it is not impossible!"
Some people quickly put aside the grievances of Lu An and Lu Chen, and began to look forward to the changes that the content published in the notice would bring to their lives.
Another person pointed to another notice and asked the scholar next to him, "Little brother, what is this notice talking about?" ”
The other people also looked at the scholar who was standing with his hands in his hands, and the scholar shook his head and smiled, "This notice is even more interesting."
According to that Lu Gongzi, in addition to the sea sand, he kept 20,000 taels of silver in Yangzhou Mansion Yin, which was specially used to buy hay.
And it is also purchased at the price of a penny and a pound of hay, as long as it is sent to Danyang Jingyuexuan for a strip, you can go to Yangzhou Mansion Yin to exchange money directly.
Oh, hay, it's everywhere in the wild, and I'm tempted to say it.
Even if we scholars are powerless, we can harvest at least more than 100 catties of hay a day, which is more than 100 yuan! ”
"What?"
"Is there such a good thing in the world?"
The people, who were originally eager to try the purchase of sea sand, were not happy when they heard the news, but were suddenly discouraged.
"It's!"
"Even if Lu Gongzi's family has money, he won't be so nonsense, right?"
"A penny and a pound to buy hay? What about liars! ”
"If you want me to say, if that Lu Gongzi is either stupid, he is teasing people!"
"It must be that he was deflated at Lord Chu and Lu Chen's two family heads last night, and his mind was hot, and he came up with such an idea to tease us ordinary people!"
"I can't say that, maybe, that Lu Gongzi is really pumping his brain, and he can't spend all the money?"
Someone still chimed in with a glimmer of hope, "Yes, how can the perverted thoughts of rich people be imagined by us ordinary people?"
It doesn't matter if he has a brain pump, the key is that we can make money! ”
The two notices at the entrance of the cyclamen restaurant soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and hundreds of people poured here.
In less than half an hour, the entire street was crowded.
A large part of the people only came to eat melons, and did not believe the contents of the proclamation at all.
Of course, there are still some people who are lucky, after all, no matter how prosperous Yangzhou City is, there are still many people who worry about their livelihood every day.
If what Lu An said was true, how good it would be!
As a result, the onlookers soon formed two circles, discussing and controversing with each other.
There are even some people from good families who have begun to openly ridicule those who believe in the proclamation, saying that they are whimsical.
Just as the people's discussion was getting louder and louder, someone pointed to the second floor and exclaimed, "Look, that is the stupid and rich Lu Gongzi!" ”
Lu An casually draped in a robe, stepped on the railing on the second floor, held steaming tea in his hand, and looked at the crowded people upstairs with a smile.
"Hehe, Ben Shao knows that some people are skeptical of the content of the notice."
"Now Ben Shao repeats it again here."
"Everything on the notice is true!"
"If there are still doubts, you can go to Yangzhou Mansion Yin to verify it."
"Yangzhou Mansion, there should be a notice with the same content now, even if you don't believe in Ben Shao, at least you should believe in the government, right?"
"Ben Shao is true to his words, as long as someone is willing to transport sea sand and hay to Danyang Jingyue Xuan for sale, they can go to Yangzhou Mansion Yin to settle at any time, and they are not bad!"
"However, Ben Shao has said it first, whether it is sea sand or hay, if Ben Shao knows that it was sent by the Qinghe Lu clan or the Pingyuan Chen clan, Ben Shao will never buy it!"
"In other words, Ben Shao will never cooperate with the Lu and Chen families, and is only willing to provide ordinary people with an opportunity to make money."
After Lu An finished speaking, the people below suddenly burst into cheers.
Some people who were originally skeptical were finally said to be moved.
"I'll just say, what kind of character is Lu Gongzi, how can he joke about this kind of thing?"
"Why are you talking so much, Lao Tzu will go borrow a carriage now, and try it for a day or two!"
"That's right, my mother-in-law can't do other work, and it's not easy to cut some hay?"
"Let's go, instead of gathering here, it's better to cut more grass as soon as possible, and you can make more money to buy New Year's goods during the New Year."
For a while, the onlookers near the cyclamen restaurant gradually dispersed and began to mobilize their families to make a fortune before this stupid and wealthy second ancestor changed his mind!
At the same time, in the ancestral house of the Chen family in the plain, after hearing the notice issued by Lu An, it was a different scene.
