Chapter 006: The Ghost in Changfu

Chang Buqu stretched out his fat hand from his sleeve and looked at the clouds.

He went to the root of Lao Wang's ears and said: "Really hit everything, and all the firecrackers will be lit on the sixth day of the first month." Set off firecrackers for something important at home. If it works, I've bought it, and it's still there. The city will issue a voucher, and I will find someone to carry it when the time comes. ”

really said that, it still scared Lao Wang. I couldn't help but take two steps back: "Lao Chang, housework, it's inconvenient to ask." But it's still scary. Do you know how many of the 20 bundles, large and small, will burn up, and the explosion will not collapse Wei County. ”

"I counted, and the twenty sheaves you had the day before yesterday were 430 in size, four more than the list you wrote. In this way, there are seventeen more, and there are still thirty-seven shorts. I'm going to find some more, and I'll make up 7,777 roots. Chang Buqu counted solemnly with his fingers.

Well, in that case, let's sell it all to him. Lao Wang had nothing to say, so he took him straight to the city of Xitan and asked him to order.

After finishing the bamboo, in front of the Lord Shishi, he handed over one hundred and twenty-eight coins. Wangzhaozhi wrote a list, and there were exactly 7,750 large and small bamboos. He was twenty-seven short.

As is customary, the city collects a storage fee. Ten texts per day, counting from the thirteenth day of the lunar month to the sixth day of the first month, a total of two hundred and thirty texts. Ship one day early, refund one day storage fee. Lord Si Shi gave him a voucher and stamped it.

Out of the market, Wangyun pointed out another place to sell bamboo, so that he could make up enough roots. Chang Buqu thanked. Farewell.

Wangyun took his family with him, bought New Year's goods, cut more pork, and went all the way back to his Longxi County. His family lives at the bridgehead of the Guancheng River in the east of the county seat. When I got home, my mother caught me. I asked why I went home so early this year. The grandson Wangzhaozhi told his grandmother the ins and outs, saying that he had met a big buyer.

Such a buyer actually wants to make firecrackers with so much bamboo and spend a huge amount of money to listen to it, which is really a strange news in the world. The old lady was also shocked and called Amitabha.

Wangyun roughly calculated an account, and on average, he only earned a little more than a penny per spotted bamboo, and earned a total of eight yuan. If you retail, when you earn sixteen, you earn exactly half less.

Doing business, that's it. Eight yuan money, for ordinary households, if you plant wheat, the yield per mu is 240 catties, the catty of wheat is 5 wen, and the mu is 1,200 wen. A family planted ten acres of land and sold them all for twelve.

In addition to the investment in the land and the payment of various taxes, if you don't eat a grain of wheat, you will get six times to the sky.

According to the average family of five people, the living expenses of each person are about eight taels per day, and the daily consumption is four catties. A year for five people to eat 1,460 pounds of wheat, which is 7 and 300 wen.

At the end of the year, if you only harvest one season of grain, it is just enough to eat. It is not uncommon to lose one or two dollars for takeout. You need to do odd jobs to earn money at home. You can't buy food categorically, where will there be money to spend.

If you harvest it in two seasons, you can only earn six or seven times. A family of five planted ten acres of land and worked hard for a year. Tightly packed with flowers, it can be used for the whole family to dress and groceries.

I am most afraid of natural and man-made disasters. Natural disasters are coming, droughts and floods, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Man-made disasters, that is, military disasters and looting, forced requisition of military rations, officials and strong and strong people to seize and occupy the Ming Dynasty, and the huge rich to lend money and take advantage of them, so that you obediently hand over the land and become their long-term and short-term workers. That's miserable.

A Laba Club, we can make a net profit of eight times, which is equivalent to the income of the whole family for a year, be content. The whole family counted and calculated, and the room was full of joy.

In any case, Wangjia has had a fat year. In a blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of the first lunar month.

After breakfast, Wangyun took Er'er Wangzhaozhi, caught up with the ox cart, and looked all the way to Chaoge, which is Huaxu Village in Wei County. Take someone with you, just in case.

There is no direct official road from Longxi County to Wei County, and you need to take a detour from Gongcheng County. The path is very close, over the mountain, to the east. But the trail is very difficult to walk. In case of heavy snow blocking the mountain and landslide, you have to come back and go to the city again, but you will make a mistake.

Simply detour to Gongcheng, go to Ji County, and soon arrive at Chaoge City. Drive the ox cart into the market, and the janitor inside the tray will take care of it. Then from the song city to the west, is Huaxu Village.

After a day of traveling, it was almost dusk, and I finally arrived at the Yuansheng Palace of Yi Lao Xiangye.

The father and son stayed here, just waiting for tomorrow to see what this cowardly Xuantian Treasure Mirror could do. Of course, I don't know what I'm doing here. I only know that I still came to worship Yi Xiangye.

Wangyun and Yuansheng Palace Temple Zhu met, burned three incense sticks, and prayed silently: "Selling gods, Xiao Kewangyun has arrived at Yuansheng Palace." If you have any commands, I hope you will make them clear. Don't miss a big deal. ”

After praying, the father and son simply ate the fasting meal of the Yuansheng Palace. Turn over and fall asleep, and wait for tomorrow to do things.

As soon as he fell asleep, the fish leaping into the sky suddenly appeared in front of Wangyun's eyes. Shocked, Wangyun rolled out of bed, lifted his robe, and hurriedly bowed.

The god son of Laba smiled slightly and helped him up. It was led to the outside of the Yuansheng Palace and entered a bamboo forest. There are stone tables and stone benches in between, and the son respects his father and looks at the clouds opposite each other.

asked him to take the Xuantian Mirror on the sixth day of the first month and come to the Yuansheng Palace to do what he did precisely because of Chang Buqu's family affairs.

It stands to reason that when there is chaos at home, there should be a disposal by yourself, and the gods are too lazy to intervene. lest I provoke myself to violate the rules of heaven, and my troubles will linger.

However, the family matter of Changbuqu involves the implementation of the practice of the divine rules. Therefore, the son respects the father, and the son celebrates the birthday of the father and son, and the father and son have already agreed on how to correct it.

can alarm the two dealers, what kind of family matter is Changbuqu?

This Changbuqu's father is a native of Penglai County, Dengzhou. Because the Emperor of the Great Sage of Heaven decreed the Eight Meetings of the Song Dynasty, his father and ancestors went back and forth to Weizhou and Dengzhou to sell kelp. After a few years of profit, he bought a property in Chaoge City. Settle in the morning song, which is convenient for the wholesale of kelp.

After a long time, they also sold hairtail. He became a famous kelp and ribbon fishmonger.

It has been 30 years since Chang Buqu took over the family's business. The kelp and hairtail fish in more than 30 counties within a radius of Wei Xiang's second prefecture all relied on him to sell, so that the people could eat them.

Day and night are constantly turning, and I have worked hard all my life. In the past 30 years, they have either unloaded and sold goods at the seaside or in various states and counties, and it is inevitable that they rarely live at home.

In the early years, he brought an apprentice, named Bu Tuci, a native of Liyang County, who has been with him for 25 years. The master and apprentice traveled back and forth between Dengzhou and Weizhou, and it was also quite easy. For a few years, Dengzhou kelp was tight, and Changbuqu needed to live in Penglai County for a long time. The business at home is taken care of by Bu Tuci.

came and went, Bu Tuci and his wife Yin's secret communication song, and conceived a child. When the doctor was three months pregnant, Bu Tuci discussed a plan with his wife.

He hurried to Penglai County, saying that he was pitiful for the master's suffering from leaving home, so he came to replace the master and go back to have a happy family.

Chang Buqu was naturally happy, praising his apprentice for knowing cold and hot. Hui Chaoge lived for a month, and then returned to Penglai County to give back Bu Tuci.

When the Yin family gave birth to a child, Chang Buqu not only did not doubt, but also was happy. Why are you happy?

Previously, Chang Buqu won three daughters in a row, and this time he got a son, of course, he was very happy.

In the blink of an eye, the child has married and had children. In fact, it is equivalent to Chang Buqu raising children and grandchildren for Bu Tu. If Bu Tuci dispelled his thoughts, he would let the child and the master continue to live like this, and forget it. We can also save ourselves from worrying about being immortals, no matter what, Lao Chang can get by.

The problem is that in the middle of this, the Yin family has become more and more affectionate with him for more than 20 years, and he can't hold the hurricane next to his pillow, and Bu Tuci gradually has a heart of transgression.

The dog man and woman set a plan, and they must cry and laugh when they are necessary, and even their families will be ruined.

What is your plan?

They had already explained the blood relationship with their son Chang Nanxiang in private, and they bought off the black doctor who was pregnant with the child's vein, a Fei hexagram master who played hexagrams.

First of all, his son Chang Nanxiang suddenly went crazy, and the black doctor diagnosed and treated, after five pairs of medicines, three prescriptions, and it was very effective.

Soon after, the master mother Yin went crazy again. Dr. Hei came to diagnose and treat again, and after several prescriptions and seven or eight pairs of medicines, he was barely half better.

Changnan Township is filial and serves his mother carefully. Who knew that this waiting, Chang Nanxiang went crazy again. A family of two crazy people, messy everywhere, dirty and stinking.

has been doing this well, Dr. Hei has been diagnosed and treated for two years, and the amount of medical expenses is still secondary, and the key is not to completely eradicate it.

When Wangyun heard this, he was indignant for Chang Buqu. No wonder Lao Chang is so sloppy. It is said that he is so generous, and he should be decent. That's why.

Zi Jing Father sighed: "Things are about to develop towards the final showdown. ”
