Chapter 181 Waste can be sold for sky-high prices
On the official road of Liangxiang,
The Zhang brothers saw several caravans along the way and were quite moved. When they were about to arrive in Liangxiang, the brothers looked at the landmark of Liangxiang: "Brother, what a big water truck."
From a distance, the huge water truck was integrated with Liangxiang, and suddenly I found that the folding fans in the capital were drawn from here.
"It seems that someone is on the waterwheel."
The Zhang brothers couldn't wait to arrive in the county town.
Liangxiang is still as small as I remember, it is ragged, but it is very lively and there are many more businessmen.
Zhang Heling discovered that there were many objects that they had seen in the capital and turned out to be leaking from here.
"Brother, there are really people on that waterwheel!"
Zhang Heling looked up and the huge waterwheel was above his head, and there were still people shouting.
The two brothers hurried to see.
I saw many gentry surrounded by the waterwheel, waiting in line to pay the bank.
No matter how stupid Zhang Heling was, he could see that, "This method is the same as how we use the Song Astronomy Telescope to collect cash!"
Which shamelessly stole his business skills?
When Zhang Heling saw that, wasn’t this the unscrupulous businessman who ran errands to Yan Chengjin?
"How much money do you need to go up?"
"Return to the Lord, I will spend 50 cents two rounds." Wang Busui smiled.
Zhang Heling darkened his face and walked to the side angrily, and saw many young gentry fighting to pay the money.
"Brother, Yan Chengjin hurt our brothers to eat the court stick. Let's steal it from the water truck?"
When Yan Chengjin heard that someone was going to steal the Ferris wheel, he looked confused and turned around and looked at it.
The Zhang brothers also came to Liangxiang.
The two brothers are quite honest. They dare to be greedy for some money without any other courage.
"The emperor has asked His Majesty for a report. Princess and ministers should not come to Liangxiang. Don't you know the two lords?"
"I don't know, anyway, our brothers are here, nephew, are you selling your skyscraper water truck?" Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the manuscript paper could still be used for waste. Yan Chengjin said: "Selling drawings is cheaper for the two lords, two thousand taels of silver."
The price of this dog thing must be cut off at least half. Zhang Heling stretched out his hand: "Eight hundred taels!"
"The Lord is so happy, and the lord will be ignorant if he refuses."
The two brothers looked at each other and were ecstatic.
The three of them agreed to trade when they returned to the capital.
At night, the stars are bright and cover the earth.
Liangxiang gradually became quiet.
Two black shadows sneaked to the skyscraper water truck, and there was no one here. Zhang Heling said, "Let's sit here tonight and save a lot of money."
"Brother is smart."
Zhang Yanling climbed up, and Zhang Heling also climbed up, but the two brothers were in trouble and no one pushed them. How could the water truck move?
"Brother, do you go down and push it?"
Zhang Yanling jumped down and pushed the water truck hard, without any movement, "Brother, you come down too, I can't push it alone."
Zhang Heling then jumped down. The two brothers used their strength to suck. The water truck finally moved slightly. The two brothers continued to push. The water truck slowly turned faster and faster. At the fastest time, the brothers jumped onto the water truck.
"Haha, it finally moved."
The two brothers were very excited, but before they could laugh for a long time, the waterwheel gradually slowed down and stopped moving when it reached its highest point?
"Brother... I won't move anymore!" Zhang Yanling was so scared that his face was bloodless.
Zhang Heling was also stunned.
"I said that if you meet that guy Yan Chengjin, you will be in trouble!"
The two brothers shivered and hugged each other. The wind was very strong on the skyscraper. The wind was cold late at night, and they almost froze into fools.
The next morning, Wang Busui brought craftsmen to the skyscrapers. After becoming famous, many gentry from Liangxiang wanted to experience it once, and could collect dozens to hundreds of taels of silver a day.
"Ha Qiu!" The two brothers were in the water wheel for a night and were covered in cold weather.
Wang Busui looked up in the voice, but unexpectedly there were two people above. When he saw the two of them clearly, his face turned dark. They were the Zhang brothers who came to Liangxiang yesterday.
"These brothers are so rich, but they always like to take advantage of them."
Wang Busui didn't like them, but he didn't dare to offend them. If he fell down, he would have to pay money. He hurriedly asked the craftsmen to turn the skyscraper water truck.
Brother Zhang felt the waterwheel move again, and when he looked down, he glanced at Wang Busui, he was so moved that he cried bitterly. After landing, his heart was put back in his stomach.
"We won't sit in this water truck."
"Well, I will never sit in Yan Chengjin anymore. Let's make one in the capital."
The Zhang brothers stayed on the head all night in fear, but still felt comfortable down to earth. When they fell to the ground, they even scolded Wang Busui.
Wang Busui ordered two people to guard here, and no one was allowed to get close to him at night.
Otherwise, not only will the sky-rock water truck be damaged, but it may cause death.
The fields in Liangxiang were divided and the harvest was entered, and the refugees were working happily in the fields.
Liangzhong's family also divided the land, with half acres of land. The family was grateful to the unknown adult.
Liang Zhong didn't know what kind of official the master was, he only knew that he was fair and pure.
Even Lord Zhang was always polite in front of that Lord, and looked like he was taught.
He guessed that the adult had a great official position and didn't know who his personality was named.
So, he called him Lord Qingtian in private.
Liangzhong's family lived in a straw shed. During the day, he went to Liangxiang street to sell cooked cakes. His daughter-in-law Liu and Huang went to the fields to farm. At night, he made sesame cakes. His two daughters-in-law weaved straw mats and bamboo baskets in exchange for some money.
Although life is very difficult, I finally have hope. It is much better than being a refugee, having no place to live and not having enough food to fill my stomach.
In Liangxiang, cakes are very easy to sell. The gentry who came to Liangxiang were reluctant to let their friends go to restaurants for dinner, so they bought them a few or even dozens of cakes.
In this way, you can make a lot of money.
"Put more stuffing, maybe that lord will come to Liangxiang tomorrow." Liang Zhong smiled and ordered.
"Dad, that adult has a noble status. Will he eat our cake?" Liang Shisan, the son of Liang Zhong, asked.
"Whether you eat or not is your business, and whether you give it or not is our business. Without Lord Qingtian, can you make a living in the workshop?"
Liang Zhong scolded his son.
The next morning, Liangzhong carried sesame cakes to the street corner to sell. Liangxiang Street corner was deserted and the merchants did not get up. I wonder if the adult would come to Liangxiang today.
Two hours passed, and I saw the sedan chairmen carrying a dilapidated sedan chair and slowly walking over.
Liang Zhong hurriedly stepped forward a few steps: "Sir, Liang Zhong made some sesame cakes, thank you for your kindness."
"My young master doesn't eat anything outside, you can keep it for yourself." How could I send him away?
"this……"
Liang Zhong looked at the sedan chair with embarrassment.
"I accepted it for me and thanked the old man."
How could I mutter a few words? Isn’t the young master not eating anything outside? But at this time, the rules of the Yan Mansion’s family sounded in his heart, and he silently collected the sesame cakes.
Today, Yan Chengjin came to Liangxiang to see the summer tax.
It is now early August, and the crops that can be harvested in Liangxiang have begun to be harvested, so it is time to pay summer tax.
The Ming Dynasty stipulated that summer tax should be levied by the end of August.
Liangxiang has no tax supervision, and it has become a free land, and taxes have to be collected by the yamen.
Zhang Xian calculated the tax amount to be paid and handed it over to Yan Chengjin for reference.
Yan Chengjin glanced at it and shook his head: "I've been in trouble too much."
Zhang Xian's eyes fell on the tax amount: "What do you mean is there any mistake?"
