Chapter 011 Hell in the City and Outside the City

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't love possessions?

There are answers, but very few.

In Song Kangnian's opinion, Cheng Shijie is not a tycoon with tens of millions of dollars, but why doesn't he love money? You must know that tens of thousands of taels of silver, countless people are willing to take risks.

That can only show one problem, Cheng Shijie's plan is not small.

Could it be that Cheng Shijie's life is really expensive?

Song Kangnian fell asleep in a daze.

By the time he woke up again, it was already night.

Song Kangnian came out to stretch, but he didn't find Cheng Shijie, he asked, "Is Mr. Cheng there?" ”

Cheng Shijie watched Song Kangnian come out of the house, and stepped forward to say hello: "Mr. Song is awake?" ”

"Wake up!"

"Yun Niang, is the meal ready?"

"Wait, it's almost ready!"

"Mr. Song, please inside!"

Song Kangnian looked at the three big cars outside, and did not move: "I don't know what Mr. Cheng has to say!" ”

"If Mr. Song thinks that this money is inconvenient to carry, he can ask Liu Ji to exchange it for gold!"

Although Liu Ji Inn is only an inn, Liu Ji is also a corporate group behind it, involving all aspects. Cheng Shijie originally asked his men where to exchange silver in Dengzhou City. The guy told him directly, Liu Ji can do it.

Of course, the exchange of silver is not the same as the exchange of change for whole money in later generations, and there is a handling fee, that is, fire consumption.

Song Kangnian spread out his hands and smiled bitterly: "It's more than a thousand taels of gold, and it's inconvenient for Song to take it!" ”

You must know that 1,200 taels of gold weighed about 75 catties, and one catty in the Ming Dynasty weighed 594 grams, which also means that 1,200 taels totaled more than 44 kilograms.

Of course, it shouldn't be a big problem for an adult man to carry a weight of forty-four kilograms on his back, but Song Kangnian's body is only equivalent to a twelve-year-old child, and a weight of forty-four kilograms is also very difficult for him.

Cheng Shijie said: "Why don't you exchange it directly for a silver ticket?" ”

"There's no rush on this matter!"

Song Kangnian asked, "I don't know what advice Mr. Cheng has?" ”

"I don't dare to advise, we had a good time working together for the first time, I don't know if Mr. Song has any intention of working together again!"

Song Kangnian shook his head and said: "Rare things are expensive, Mr. Cheng's batch of swords, don't go to Dengzhou again in the end, even if you want to make a move, then wait a little longer!" ”

"Cheng can save this matter!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said, "Mr. Song seems to have said that Governor Denglai is selling his official beard?" ”

"Not bad!"

Song Kangnian was slightly stunned: "Mr. Cheng is going to donate an official?" ”

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, merchants, gentry, and landlords donated the most officials. In addition to the so-and-so person mentioned in film and television dramas, in fact, this is an identity, which is roughly equivalent to Western jazz. It has no power in itself, just an honorary title.

Song Kangnian also thought that Cheng Shijie wanted to buy a similar honorary title, which could reduce a lot of taxes in Daming.

"Exactly!"

Cheng Shijie didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Cheng Mou currently has not enough money in his hand for the time being, and there is Mr. Lao Song in this matter!" ”

Song Kangnian thought for a while and said, "Song can inquire about this matter!" ”

"That's great!"

"Cheng Mou leave first!"

"I wonder when I'll be back?"

"It should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

Song Kangnian said: "Song has nothing to do, so he lives here!" ”

Liu Ji's East Cross Courtyard was originally three people, no, it was four people, and the baby Xiao Jiaxin was also one person. Now that there is more Song Kangnian, it is not much trouble.

After a meal, Song Kangnian also figured out the relationship between Yang Yunniang and Cheng Shijie, to be precise, including Shen Mingyu and Yang Yunniang, they were all picked up by Cheng Shijie from the street.

……

When he opened his eyes, Cheng Shijie had returned to the afterlife.

Since I have prepared a good thing to stir up Kong Youde. The first thing he did was not to buy an official, nor to make money, but to have the power to protect himself.

The best way to protect yourself is to have a gun, but the problem is that ordinary people in China have no chance to get in touch with guns.

Just when Cheng Shijie felt a little lost, he began to search for the three keywords of "high power" again, he himself wanted to buy a high-power strong light flashlight, although this thing is not dangerous, in the Ming Dynasty, it can bluff people.

I never thought that with this search keyword, the results popped up, and a large number of wild boars drove away electric shockers, which is an electric rod, but the name is different.

Sure enough, the Chinese language is broad and profound.

didn't say anything, Cheng Shijie hurriedly placed an order.

Coming to the mailroom at the entrance of the community, there were more than a dozen couriers from Cheng Shijie, although Song Kangnian said that it was scarce and expensive, but he still took a large number of swords, even if he didn't sell them, at least they could be used as self-defense weapons.

Cheng Shijie originally wanted to travel back in time and buy some crystal products from the next life, however, after experimentation, he learned that he could go back at most once a day, and he could only carry the weight that his body could carry.

The fifty swords he purchased, each weighing about three and a half catties, plus the scabbards, totaled five catties to six catties, and as a result, the total weight of the fifty swords exceeded two hundred and fifty sixty catties, which was already beyond the weight that Cheng Shijie could carry, not only could he not bring these swords over, but he also couldn't start the crossing.

In desperation, he had to choose some handicraft ornaments and crystal ornaments.

Of course, there are no high-end goods for these crystal jewelry, he bought them in Yiwu Trade City, spent more than 5,000 yuan, and bought a box, which weighed more than 50 catties.

This time, Cheng Shijie did not cross directly, but went to the hospital to visit Cheng Jiayue, but fortunately, Cheng Jiayue's condition stabilized in the hospital.

"Why don't we get out of the hospital?"

"Don't!"

Cheng Shijie smiled bitterly: "Our community is too remote, and it is not easy to take a taxi at night, in case there is an accident, it is not easy to come to the hospital again......

"But, it's a place to spend money!"

"I'll figure out how to deal with money!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Otherwise, I'll watch in the hospital, and you go back to take a bath." ”

"No, you can wash it in the room, and there is hot water 24 hours a day."

"What do you want to eat?"

……

Cheng Shijie was about to return to the end of the Ming Dynasty with his belongings, and suddenly felt that something was missing, so he hurriedly rode an electric car to the pharmacy and bought a household medical kit, white medicine, gauze and disinfectant in case of emergency.

When he came to the end of the Ming Dynasty, Song Kangnian was no longer in Liu Ji's East Cross Courtyard, but went out to buy officials.

Staying around the East Cross Courtyard with nothing to do, Cheng Shijie asked, "Mingyu, do you know how to drive?" ”

"No!"

"Take the money and hire a carriage, I'm going out for a walk!"

It's not that Cheng Shijie doesn't want to walk, but that riding in the Ming Dynasty is a status symbol that can reduce unnecessary trouble.

After a short time, Shen Mingyu hired a new carriage with him, and he took the coachman, who was an old man over half a hundred years old, surnamed Zhou.

Cheng Shijie sat in the carriage, Shen Mingyu and the coachman Lao Zhou sat in front of the carriage, and walked slowly along the street.

"Boss, where are we out?"

"Get out of town!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Shijie felt regretful, because when he left the city, he smelled a bad smell, and flies were flying all over the sky not far away.

Cheng Shijie lifted the curtain and looked at a large shantytown outside the city, all of them were homeless, ragged, unkempt, and sluggish.

It's just mourning all over the wilderness, and the skinny children are either inserted into the grass bones and sold as goods in exchange for a little ration that can be taken for a few families to live temporarily, or they guard the corpses of their parents and shout for their fathers and mothers, and the desperate calls pierce people's hearts like needles, and the eyes are dull and desperate, which makes people unbearable to look at.

The city was fine, and the soldiers guarding the city did not let the outcasts enter. But outside the city is densely packed with at least tens of thousands of displaced people, their empty eyes and eyeless eyes, absolutely waiting for death.

This scene made Cheng Shijie, the soul of the 21st century, feel unacceptable.

"Boss, let's go back!"

With the appearance of Cheng Shijie's carriage, it immediately attracted the attention of countless homeless people.

"Your nobleman is good, give me something to eat!"

"Good Samaritans passing by beg you to have mercy, buy this child, and I will kowtow to you!"

"Noble, our children are obedient, diligent, and eat little, please buy them!"

"This lord, please buy this child, I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you, ......"

The troublesome and mechanical sound made Cheng Shijie feel that inside and outside the city, it was simply two heavens of ice and fire, could this be Shandong, which is highly developed economically?

At this time, among these victims, a group of people who looked like stewards appeared, walking among the children or women who had sold their heads, reaching out their big hands and breaking open the children's or women's mouths to see their teeth, and some of them were beating the children's bodies with sticks to test the children's reactions.

At this moment, Cheng Shijie looked at the trees on the side of the road, and there were more than a dozen bloody corpses hanging from the trees. Several homeless people were dismantling the corpses from the trees, not for the corpses, but for the tattered clothes of the corpses.

The corpses were stripped naked, and the corpses hanging from the trees were actually wearing tattered military uniforms.

watched Cheng Shijie staring at the corpse.

Shen Mingyu explained: "Dongjia, these are the Dongjiang Army, a while ago, they fought with the Dengzhou Army, and these people were hanged!" ”

Just as Cheng Shijie retracted his gaze, he suddenly saw a corpse's fingers trembling.

"This man isn't dead yet!"

Cheng Shijie said subconsciously.

"It's not going to die soon, wild dogs aren't picky eaters!"

Those who were collecting the body quickly stripped the body of the still alive from its clothes.

Cheng Shijie couldn't stand it anymore: "Mingyu, put this person in the carriage!" ”

"But you ...... the owner"

Cheng Shijie stepped out of the carriage, he didn't have the manpower to use now, it was okay to buy a few people, anyway, he didn't have a few mouths to eat.

Cheng Shijie's fat body made the homeless people feel frightened, especially Cheng Shijie was also carrying a knife.

"Master, please buy the child!"
