Chapter 238 Dreams that can't be woken, pains that can't be cured(1/2)
Two days after Zhu Xingde and his friends left home, the left-handed settled the newly purchased food, so he took Zuo Lizheng and Liuzi to the county town.
There is also a shop rewarded by Li Zhixian in the county town, and it is empty, so it is impossible not to arrange it.
Although the eldest son-in-law has sold a lot of wine in the county, it is equivalent to kicking the head triangle away, and even many county sellers know that if they want to buy Zuojia wine in the future, they can go to that shop.
But after all, I didn’t clean up the four-dimensional ones, and I didn’t even have a cover. I wouldn’t be able to designate a normal business in the future.
Zuo Lizheng got to the county and separated from Zuo Shizi and the others, went directly to the yamen, and changed the business scope of this shop from embroidery shop to wine shop.
In the past, Liang's family used this shop to sell embroidery.
Nowadays, business transactions are different. When it comes to commercial taxes, we naturally have to go to the yamen to prepare a case, which will be changed to selling wine.
When Zuo Li was busy with these things, the left-handed man took Liu Zi to draw pictures around the front and back yards, intending to clean up again.
Left-handed people learn from their son-in-law. No matter what they do, they must first write and draw pictures and plans in their notebooks, and then find someone to work according to the pictures. They cannot pat their heads, and they can't even think about it.
As for the worker, the Zuo family no longer intends to find acquaintances from the village to work hard this time.
Even if the wages of hiring villagers will be small, the difference will probably be twice as good as a set of work.
But the village is too far from the county town.
It is better to hire workers in the city to work in troublesome matters such as accommodation, meals, etc.
The left-handed guy discussed with Zuo Li on the road:
"I don't plan to change the place where people live in the backyard. Although I don't look at the servants of Liangzi family who lived there before, I don't move. After all, we are an old farmer family and have no idea of having food and accommodation separate from other masters and servants. It's okay for the servants to live in it, just be brighter than the house in the village. At worst, the children are disgusted and they can change to some new kang mats and don't want to have a broken rice bowl."
I thought to myself: At most, I only change the dishes, chopsticks, buckets, urine buckets, etc., and I don’t need the ones I used to replace, take them back to the village and use them for people in the difficult village. He is reluctant to throw them away.
Left-handed people think that there are so many poor people who pay attention to it? If you stay in a restaurant outside to eat, you will be clean if you think the dishes are clean? If my mother-in-law hadn't mentioned it and said that it was bad luck to the "Lian family", she would be afraid that the children would be too dirty, so she would not even want to throw away the dishes. It would be better to deal with it. Only by sewing three poor and three rich people would heal until he was old.
Therefore, if the backyard is not moving a lot, just make a counter in the front yard and find a wooden worker to make a counter suitable for wine. The boards on the counter were not in vain and were used for dismantling them. Add some wine steel, change the layout of the door, and sell bulk wine.
Anyway, wait, it's all small work, just messy. In fact, I can't spend too much money.
Moreover, when they entered the city, Zhu Laosan happened to be on duty on the city tower.
When they heard that they were coming to the city to redecorate the shop and asked if they were busy, they would bring people to help with some small work. In this way, some meticulous work, such as adding some new wooden barrels, or even as small as a mop rod or a rolling pin, wouldn't cost money.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the residences of Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan.
In fact, when the left-handed man was still helping with the county government, he proposed to let his eldest son-in-law and his younger brothers who were on duty in the county live in the backyard of the shop.
We are not stingy, we are also empty, and we can still guard the house.
But these boys didn't do it. They said that the county government has always had a house where yamen runners stayed. They were located near the granary of the yamen. They were used for single yamen runners who were on duty, outside the home, or single yamen runners who had no houses, and other officials who came to the county to handle work, and used for those entourages of other officials, four people in one room.
In name, this should be the case. Any county government will set up such a place.
In fact, the house in Yongdian County was named Liang, and it was not under the name of the Liang thief. Liang thief would not have used a house to blatantly ruin his reputation. Just talking about actual use, those houses belonged to the Liang thief, Xu San, the subordinate of the Liang thief, had the final say.
In the past, Xu San gave the keys so that officials in the yamen were qualified to move in. This is also the reason why many minor officials in the county government obeyed the thieves in Liang.
After all, only when I heard the words of the Liang thief at that time would have the opportunity to be promoted and get some jobs, such as food and drink, and for example, I could get all this kind of housing.
If you don’t spend a penny, you can live for many years.
It was obviously a four-person room, but when I heard that when I took back the house, each room had been changed to one family of households. When I was taking over the house, if I met an unreasonable and confused old lady, I would be confident that the house was owned, so why should I take it back?
Now, since Li Zhixian County took office and all the thieves and the others were arrested, the house has been vacant.
Isn't that the reason why Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan and others did not go to the empty backyard of Zuojiawang shop was to make this idea.
They want to divide the right to use this kind of house.
Who doesn't want it if you are in vain?
So Zhu Laoer and his team were huddled in the county government, planning to line up to divide the small house.
It is impossible to be like the Liang thief era, and each person can have a bed and a table.
Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan calculated that the two brothers could occupy half of the room. The magistrate Li was in charge of the distribution of this matter. If their cousin had no one left and had a good time, they could have a room for them.
In that case, it will be a solution once and for all in the future, right? Whoever comes will live? Another person goes out to find a place for himself. He can still grow vegetables, so how good it is to cook alone.
In short, good things must not be missed.
Zhu Laosan and the others bite to death the difficulty of accommodation. Since being appointed by the county government, they would rather be crowded with many yamen runners than to mention it among the officials that my cousin and father-in-law had a large shop that could live in empty houses.
Even if there were a few well-informed people asking privately, they asked righteously:
"I can't live in my cousin's house for a long time, let alone my cousin's father-in-law's house. That's what it means to be a turn. My brothers and I'll live there.
I stayed for three or five days and asked for help, and no one could say anything.
If you live for a long time, can you live for ten or twenty years? Until you take off your official clothes? Just pull it down. If your relatives are really embarrassed to chase us, we will be embarrassed. That is not the same as embarrassing my cousin? A bunch of poor relatives."
Therefore, it is precisely because of the above reasons that the large shop with front and back yards that the Zuo family was rewarded, except Zhu Xingde and Luo Junxi who lived for a few days, no one else really stayed for a day or a day.
But this time when he entered the city, Zhu Laosan heard that he was about to clean up the shop again, but suddenly proposed to go there, not for living, but for helping to work.
The whole left-handed man, and Zuo Lizheng felt warm after listening.
At the entrance of the city, the left-handed man was serious about chatting with Zhu Laosan before leaving. He suggested that during the days when his grandfather and uncle were in the city, Zhu Laosan and the others had to go to the shop to have dinner every day, make some good things, and make up for the children. He told him to go there as soon as he was asked to pay the price. The shop was equivalent to his own home.
Let’s talk about it now.
At present, Liuzi swept the dust in the shop and looked at the left-handed man drawing pictures while knowing what he heard:
"Uncle, don't think that the shop we have is big, it is actually in the shop where the Liang thief is confiscated. I heard that it can only be considered a top-notch shop.
The largest shop in his house is a three-story building, which is the largest teahouse in our county before.
When De Ge and I were still working in the county government, Li Magistrate Li mentioned that he would place all the shops in the Liang family openly and secretly, and put a reserve price on them, so that the businessmen in our county could see them themselves.
Then Xunkong called the merchants and landlords who wanted to buy the Liang family shop, and the public would sell them to whoever bid the highest.
I guess Li Zhixian is busy with this matter now. Le Zhu, the grandson of Li Zhengye’s family, said. No one knows whether our shop is given on its own or behind the scenes. It’s removed from the list of shops collected. To the outside world, it’s true, everyone thinks that our shop bought it.”
When the left-handed heard this, he pinned the charcoal pen on his ear and shook his head and said:
"Build a teahouse on three floors? No wonder the Liang thief is a corrupt official. He can only make money by buying some women when selling tea and doing some unreasonable things. Otherwise, how much money will be spent on these three floors in a day. I am worried about our shop. I really have to open the door to do business as soon as possible, or I will pay the tax and silver for nothing at the end of each month."
Speaking of this, the left-handed man changed his mind and continued: "You said those shops are sold at a minimum price? Finding some wealthy people is expensive? Otherwise, it is different for those with knowledge like Li Zhixian. We don't know how to do it, so we have to follow and watch more. Isn't this a little more learned. If our family has a kind of deal that needs to be bidding in the future, our family will do the same."
The two of them were chatting like a casual chat. While working and cleaning the house, they went out to find workers in Dagang, and chatted with everything along the way.
Isn't this? I've been busy all the time and have never talked about it well.
With the help of the prosperous shop, the families of the Liang thieves were mentioned.
My "traitor" Le Zhu came back and said that the daughter-in-law and son of the thief of Liang had long been taken away together.
The son of the Liang thief was studying in the capital before. Although the people in the capital were the son of a chief clerk in a small county town, they could eat and drink delicious food in the capital. As a result, when something happened to his father, he was immediately arrested. The fate was that his father died and his son would fall to the ground.
The Liang family only Mrs. Liang's cousin was released, and nothing happened. The remaining concubines were all tried and sold by County Magistrate Li.
"Why is Wang Laizi's name Jiuer?" asked the left-handed.
Liuzi replied: "She was involved in the case. She was caught when De Ge was still a head-in-chief. Although she was a concubine, she also left with the case. De Ge had seen her alone."
The left-handed guy really doesn't know about this: "What is Dezi talking to a woman?"
"I said she was not stupid, but was not from the Wang family's biological child. I kindly told her. It is not worth it to be implicated by her fake brother and for her fake brother. In the future, the people will be reborn in the next life, and she will not be named Wang."
"ah?"
"Uncle, after hearing this, Aunt Jiuer vomited blood immediately. I can see that my brother De really holds a grudge. He won't let go of a little hatred, hehe."
left handed:"……"
The two of them talked about passing through Dawang Village several times. They heard that the people of the old Wang family had a far-reaching relationship with Wang Laizi, and cried and shouted that they would break away from their relationship. Wang Laizi's uncle, who used to be the patriarch of Dawang Village, would not be able to do so. The doctor said that at most it would last until next year.
As for when will they ask for the execution of the Liang thieves who were taken away? It should be after next autumn.
Among the officials in the city, I heard that there were two fourth-rank and three fifth-rank officials who were taken away. One of them was still scribing the documents at that time. He deliberately dug them out and was called to the capital. All of them were implicated in the case of the Liang thief.
"How can the examiner of the paper appraisal and the thief in Liang?"
Liuzi said: "Who can tell the truth about how the son of the Liang thief passed the exam? I guess the more you investigate, the more you get involved, and the more you will be in chaos in the Fucheng."
The left-handed man tickled and was a little worried when he mentioned this topic: "Liuzi, you said that porridge should not be delayed. You offended so many officials in the city, don't be worn with small shoes anymore. I suspect that the imperial examination list in our place will be released later this year than before. One of them has been arrested, and a fewer people have been sentenced. Also, will our family go to the city to do business in the future, and will it be difficult for us to do business?"
Liuzi thought for a while and replied, "It's okay, Brother De said, Porridge was very good at taking the exam. If he didn't have him on the list this time, we will find a way to sue it."
I don’t know where to go, so I will take one step at a time.
But after the incident with the Liang thief, I found out that sometimes barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, but they just sue them anyway.
At this time, if someone hears the conversation between these two people, they will be speechless. Why are you still not allowed to be absent? If you fail the exam, you will be falsely accused?
...
"Ah, ah, ah!"
At the same time, Luo Junxi sneezes several times.
Moreover, without Zhu Xingde's advice, he knew to take off his wine bag and quickly took a few sips to keep warm.
At present, most of their wine transport team has left.
The colder it gets.
To be continued...
