Chapter 70: The Attic
"Little brother, do you think there's something wrong?" Wang Xingwang took the initiative to ask.
"I just feel a little strange, Jiangfu can be said to be the granary of Baiyun Country.
If the grain price in Jiangfu gets out of control, what kind of consequences will it bring in the end, have you ever thought about it? ”
"Little brother, this is obviously someone manipulating the price.
A reduction in grain production is not a big burden for the Jiang government, and what I am afraid of is that someone will make a hindrance from it.
Officials and businessmen colluded to control grain prices, and the worst thing was the common people, who sold their sons and daughters in order to survive, and their lives were as cheap as mustard. Wang Xingwang, who has some understanding of this, said.
The deeper meaning is up to Ziyu herself to understand.
At this time, the few people saw the situation in front of them, and no one would think too far.
Hong Feiyang handed over the purchase list and account book of the trip to Ziyu, adding.
"Little brother, the expenses on the way back are all paid in advance by Brother Wang.
I only have nine taels of silver left, and I almost can't get back. ”
Ziyu carefully looked through the account books and lists in front of several people, and quickly calculated the difference and freight.
The freight was two thousand four hundred taels of silver, and the difference was four hundred and eighty-five taels of silver.
Ziyu took out a small stack of golden tickets from her sleeve in front of several people and counted them to Hong Feiyang and Wang Xingwang.
"Brother Wang, you can divide it among the ship bosses."
"Little brother, if you take it out like this, you're not afraid that we will rob you." Wang Xingwang joked.
"Hehe, will you?
To tell you the truth, these golden tickets were obtained by exchanging the only thing I had on my body for jewelry with overseas merchants at the Shangdu Pier. ”
Ziyu was still a little complacent when she talked about that time.
It was precisely because of that deal that she dared to blatantly trade the golden ticket.
Instead of buying everything with cash, it can only be said that each has its own benefits.
"There is also this kind of good thing, I thought that the little brother's family had ten thousand gold."
Wang Xingwang and Leng Da looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't expect to be really blinded by this person at that time.
"I still have a lot of thanks to Brother Wang for this, if I hadn't heard you talk about the experience of going to business all the way, how would I know about Shangdufu.
Otherwise, there would be no follow-up. Ziyu said modestly.
"Hahaha, so this is fate!" Hong Feiyang also remembered the matter of Shangdu Mansion and laughed out loud.
Several people standing on the big rock, the more they talked, the closer they became, there was a feeling of meeting and hating each other.
After Ziyu learned about the situation outside, she canceled her plan to purchase food for the next trip.
Quan San and Leng Da have two ships, so they can only go back home to find another way out.
"Excuse me!
I didn't expect this to be the case, and I was going to buy some daily necessities nearby.
It's all worthless stuff, and it's not worth it to run too far.
The conditions here are simple, and you are not advised to stay longer, and please bring the souvenirs of the valley with you when you leave.
Dried fish, dried whale meat! ”
Ziyu shuddered at the mention of dried fish, and now she has eaten enough.
No matter how good things are, she can't stand eating them all at once, and she really doesn't have a bowl of wild vegetables that attracts her as much.
When the little brother said this, he saw that no one could control it.
Haha, it's hard to resist the kindness of the little brother, and I won't shirk all three.
I just borrowed the little brother's territory to bring some back to the old and young in the family. Quan San bowed his hand to Ziyu slightly.
"Little brother, we are also ready to leave with Boss Quan."
Leng Da saw that there was no goods to transport, so he stopped thinking about doing it together, but the most important family member disagreed.
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer, and I'll do it myself.
You can get anything from the mountains and the sea. ”
Ziyu waved her hand proudly, what you can get depends on your personal ability.
"Hahaha, little brother is atmospheric!"
Quan Trinity gave a thumbs up, and those who have personally experienced the ebb and flow know what the situation is, and of course they will not give up this rare opportunity.
…
The sun is sinking in the west, and the chill in the mountains is deepening.
The shepherd boy sat on the back of the mule and shook the twigs and walked slowly back to the valley, while the carpenters packed up their tools and left.
The tree fellers shouted a trumpet, and four or five people came back with the trees.
"Wow~Wow!"
There was a wolf howl in the distance, and Wang Xingwang, Leng Dayou and others, who heard the wolf howl for the first time, looked around in fright.
"It's far away, and when the weather is cold, it will howl every day, and it will be sent to the door to kill the wolfskin jacket." Ziyu doesn't care about authenticity.
She's a wolf-skinned, tiger-skinned, bear-skinned person, and doesn't mind a few more wolves.
Except for Hong Feiyang, everyone looked at the thin purple jade with distrust.
Ziyu, who was standing among several big men, really looked very thin because of her age.
This also made people who had never seen his true skills have serious doubts.
Tigers, wolves, and bears, which are so easy to hunt, old hunters have to take off several layers of skin when they meet.
"If you don't believe me, you'll find out in a moment just look at the hides nailed to the outside of the hut." Ziyu jumped off the boulder and headed straight into the valley.
As soon as it gets dark, the gate made of logs closes at the mouth of the valley.
The fence gate, which requires two adult men to push, is also not to be underestimated.
People who seriously disbelieved Ziyu's words followed Ziyu's steps.
Hong Feiyang stayed at the mouth of the valley, waiting for the person who carried the tree behind him to come back.
As a member of the valley, it was necessary for him to take on the role of guard.
…
The corridors of the wooden hut are covered with various animal skins, among which bear, tiger and wolf skins are the most eye-catching.
There are also several bundles of animal skins on the floor of the wooden house, and the color of the fur can be seen as hares.
The rudimentary facilities in the house made several men give a thumbs up.
"Little brother, I didn't expect you to be so easy-going, I'm afraid no one in this world can do your step." All three admire the authenticity.
"The conditions are simple, I can only live in the future, and it will definitely not be like this in the future.
As soon as this place is built, I will be the owner of the castle, and I will definitely have to live the days when clothes come to stretch out my hands and food comes to open my mouth. ”
Ziyu saw that the roof was already making its final end, and her heart was excited, and she greeted a few people.
"Let's go, look at the new house!"
…
To the right of the gate is a small gatehouse, three feet long and wide, with a four-panel double-glazed window for lighting.
A corridor five feet wide connects the inverted seats on both sides, and on the outside are long wooden benches for rest and chat.
The two rooms on the right are connected as a set, and the left side is as a three-room house.
Double-glazed four-panel windows that open uniformly into the courtyard are standard in every room.
The stone house with a length and width of four zhang is neat and stylish, the floor is paved with stone slabs, and the top is a one-foot-thick wooden plank.
There was a whale oil lamp lit in each room, and the room was a little shady before it was dry.
Ziyu went up the wooden staircase against the wall to the attic, and several big men didn't dare to go up together.
Hong Feiyang, who arrived later, didn't care so much, he looked around the stone house just now, and he was so satisfied.
Coupled with the kang and fireplace that the little brother said, no matter how cold the day is, he is not afraid.
Those who have never seen the attic should have a sneak peek.
Seeing this, Wang Xingwang also went up lightly, and almost walked on tiptoe.
In the pure solid wood attic, the third and fourth elders of the Hu family with their nephews are squatting on the ground to polish the wooden planks.
