Chapter 65: Right and Wrong, Black and White
Xu Ling took out a few hundred more dollars and asked the two jailers to help him find his younger brothers and sisters at home, and the money was like running water.
The two jailers felt that they had met a rich man, and readily agreed.
Xu Ling did everything he could do at the moment, no matter how anxious he was, he sat cross-legged on the hay and thought about life in a daze.
Others crossed either the prince and princess or the young master of the family, and she was dressed as a poor jingle scumbag. The strong never complain about the environment, and she admits it.
From the village to before the accident, she always felt that the ancient folk customs were simple, and no matter how bad the people she met, they couldn't be bad there.
But Liu Niang's incident really taught her a lesson.
Tell her plainly that this is no longer the safe environment in which you don't mess with things and don't mess with you like in your previous life.
She lives in a world where the imperial power suppresses everything.
She didn't know what was going on in other places, but as far as Lingbao Town was concerned, there was no legal fairness at all.
If you don't give evidence, you can put people in prison, and you can sentence people to death without trial.
Even reverses right and wrong, and plays black and white.
Just like the poor tofu seller.
Even two nameless jailers can openly collect money to do things, and presumably the government here is also clearly marked with the price of human life.
offended a rich son, as long as people contributed a little money, they could make an innocent family wife break up and fall apart.
Xu Ling had to admit it.
She was scared.
She had no ambitions, she only thought about peace and happiness, but after this incident, her mentality completely changed.
What can be done, Xiaofu is safe, all of them are as illusory as bubbles, and she has lost her sense of security.
Xu Ling's mind was messy, and he was messy with cutting.
I don't know how long it took, but the old man in the cell on the right smiled and asked Xu Lingdao, "Boy, what did you do?" But scared? ”
Xu Ling slowly raised his head, glanced at him, and gently tugged at the corners of his numb mouth.
"Senior, you really know how to laugh, aren't you afraid?"
As if he had found some kind of fun, the old man asked Xu Ling to sit closer, and the two sat cross-legged opposite each other, chatting about each other's experiences in prison.
Xu Lingquan reviewed and told his experience since he left the village in detail.
When talking about the first time he met Liu Niang on Matou Street, the old man scolded: "You are such a fool, what kind of good thing can a woman who shows up in that place be?" ”
Seeing that Xu Ling was puzzled, he told Xu Ling what was the place on Matou Street, where the vendors and pawns gathered, where there were many dark alleys in the past, and when men went out to work during the day, they let their women stay at home to pick up customers.
Xu Ling was shocked again.
"They... Nobody cares? ”
"Tube? Who cares? ”
"Why do those men let their women do this?" Xu Ling was puzzled.
"Boy, do you think you're lucky enough to make a little money, and everyone can be like you?" A mocking look appeared on the old man's face again, talking about the other side of the prosperous scene of Lingbao Town.
Lingbao Town is located in Qingzhou, occupies a geographical advantage, where the transportation is convenient, is Yangzhou, Yongzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou four major local goods transfer station.
There are many merchants who come and go here, and the people in the city have no land, so they want to do business to serve the merchants who come and go here, and after the Caoyun wharf is busy, the government collects heavy taxes on the merchants, and the people here are miserable, and the more they earn, the more leeks are cut.
According to Xu Ling's understanding, making money in Lingbao Town is getting more and more expensive, making more money, and prices are also rising, but he can't afford to eat or live.
Those people at the bottom can only make money to make a living through the gray industry.
Xu Ling didn't know anything about this, frowned and asked: "Then why don't they go to live outside the city, I see that there is a lot of wasteland outside, even if it is harder, there is no need to do this, right?" ”
The old man snorted, "Do you think that a piece of land can be cultivated and crops at will?" Have you ever asked who the land belongs to? ”
"If you reclaim the wasteland, well, no one will stop you, wait for you to plant crops, water and fertilize hard, and when the harvest is harvested in the autumn, someone will come to tell you that you are ploughing the land of their house, and not only collect your grain, but also sue you to the government, if you can't afford to lose the money, you will be put on death row, and people will collect your food, beat your mother, and cut off your head!"
The old man laughed as if he were telling some kind of joke.
Xu Ling was silent.
"Nobody cares?"
"Who cares? These dog officials are one and the same, who will care? ”
"Is there nothing that can be done?" Xu Ling was almost desperate when he heard it.
The old man looked Xu Ling up and down, and instead of answering his question, he asked about something else.
"You said you made money just as a businessman, let me ask you, how much money are you going to make?"
Xu Ling said honestly: "Originally, I wanted to go home after earning enough money to pay off the money to buy land, but I have no ambitions." ”
"Then don't ask, even if there is a way, it has nothing to do with you, you might as well pray to the Bodhisattva to bless you from encountering such a thing in your life!"
The old man was also angry with Xu Ling's lack of ambition, and turned his face angrily, not wanting to deal with him very much.
Xu Ling sneered: "Isn't that the original idea?" After this incident, I also don't think it's appropriate. ”
The old man looked at him contemptuously, "And what do you think now?" ”
"Hmm...... Make a lot of money and be a very rich businessman? Xu Ling said tentatively.
"No ambition, no growth at all, wait for death!"
Xu Ling: ......
Not really.
"So what should I do?" Xu Ling humbly asked.
"The boat has deep advantages, and there are no shallow waves in the sea. The benefits are deep and the waves are deep, what is the will of the king? ”
The old man chanted a poem with deep meaning.
He continued to think about it.
No longer bother with Xu Ling.
Xu Ling took out the perceptive thinking of reading comprehension in his previous life.
He wanted to be a small farmer who rested at sunrise and sunset, but unfortunately he didn't even have the most primitive land. In desperation, he could only make money from business, after all, there was no good craftsmanship of craftsmen.
Not to mention scholars, Xu Ling is blind, he recognizes those traditional characters, but he recognizes half of them, and the remaining half is half-understood, and even writing a brush character has to pay someone to do it for him.
This body is already twenty-one years old, counting on him to be literate now, Xu Ling chooses to do business.
Since he wants to be a businessman, the bigger his business, the more money he will earn, and if he wants to make money, how can it be easy? The more he earns, the more risks he encounters.
If you have no ambition like this, you will be safe if you are rich, and you can get by, how can you get through the danger?
Xu Ling understood the old man's questioning.
He is now in a dilemma.
The choice is passable, and I don't know how difficult it will be in the future.
Choose to move forward bravely, there are still many unknown risks ahead.
Xu Ling stayed awake all night, and on the second day, he didn't eat a drop of water for two consecutive days, his stomach was hungry, but his mind became clearer and clearer.
daddy.
God forced her to cross over here, and she suffered so much, she simply turned the world upside down, and if she didn't do anything, how could she prove that she had been here?
Xu Ling said categorically: "I decided." I want to be the richest man in the world. ”
