Chapter 42 Murder
Xiuyuan Bo Liang Rang thought too much. From the beginning, the Fifth Reunification never had the idea of treating Yang Xiong as a "Bo Le" and helping him advertise to create a celebrity effect.
Jing Dan and Wang Long are friends who have been together for a long time. Wouldn’t that be the case for stinging their friends?
Yang Xiong was not the case. Although the fifth reunification only learned some dialects from him intermittently, it was already a teacher in the eyes of others. The wine and meat that the old Yang Xiong came to his house to eat and drink were all the rituals of cultivation.
People at that time valued the teacher's teachings and respected the teacher as much as their father. Since they had the name of a master and apprentice, they could not do anything. There is still a fifth relationship with this measure.
What's more, after more than a month of exchanges, the Fifth Reun gradually understood Yang Xiong a little, and guessed that he would not be happy.
Hou Ba, the eldest disciple of Yangxiong, told Di Wulun: "When the Master wrote the "Fayan", a wealthy man in Shu was willing to pay 100,000 yuan, so he wanted to leave his name in the book. The Master flatly rejected him, saying that the rich businessman was unkind, just like the deer in the circle and the cow in the pen, how could he record it at will?"
Now Yang Xiong is in his seventies. He eats some wine and meat when he has no food. He squats at home. He is addicted to his knowledge that is different from common scholars and thinks he is content with poverty and enjoys theories.
The fifth reunion reads the "Fu of Poverty" which Yang Xiong claims to be the last fu. Starting from "Yangzi escapes from the world and is alone", he dictates his own dialogue with the God of Poverty. At first, he blames "poverty" for causing trouble for him. "poverty" defends this, but he is convinced by "poverty" that he believes that poverty is a good thing and is determined to "live with you forever, and he will never be able to escape from poverty and stay with me."
In short, Yang Xiong did not owe money to become a deadbeat, so how could he put down the dignity of a great writer and help merchants as entrusted advertisements?
What's more, relying solely on opening a big show in this era is enough to make coal balls famous. If anything becomes famous, there will be no shortage of markets.
"I sold nearly 10,000 kilograms on the first day!"
The fourth salt came to report the news happily at night. It sounded a lot, but it was not. After weighing the fifth reunion, one pound of new dynasty is about two and a half of the later generations, and the weight of a small coal ball. The goods brought in succession in the past few days were almost wiped out, and the first level had already been sent to transport it back and forth overnight.
Fourth, the first and two families were happy: "If we could get close to 10,000 a day, we might have to increase our yields."
The fifth reunion is not as optimistic as them. Although they have a great victory on the first day, the advantages of coal balls are actually not much compared to charcoal.
"This is only the first day, and it would be nice to be able to sell 1,000 kilograms in the next day."
In the following days, as expected by the fifth reunion, the daily sales of coal balls became less and less, and finally stabilized at more than a thousand pounds.
Although coal balls sell too much, they actually make small profits but quick turnover. After counting the Fifth Relationship, after reducing freight and cost, a coal ball weighing one new kilogram will only make a profit of two yuan. This is still the premise of not paying wages to workers. After the profits are divided, the Fifth Family earns up to 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in January, which can be exchanged for more than 100 stones of grain, which is equivalent to opening ten hectares of land in an additional year.
"If it weren't for Bo Yu's trick, he would probably have lost all his money this time." The fourth son was very moved. His family was a merchant for many years, but when selling, compared to the fancy operations of the fifth reunion, he was a younger brother. He couldn't help but feel ashamed and even proposed that he would share half of the profit to the fifth reunion.
"The coupon has been decided, how can it be changed easily? If it is to change it, it is a problem. The three families sit down and discuss together."
Then he will be in charge of one's own words.
The fifth relationship made the fourth wife feel at ease. He would have used the fourth wife in the future, so there was no need to take advantage of small profits and small profits.
It seems that we should try our best to bypass the six-government bans of the imperial court, secretly make some luxury goods, and cheat the money of the powerful people in Liewei County. That is a huge profit. At that time, we don’t need to rely on the production materials of the Fourth Family, and it’s okay to make 90% of the profits in our own family.
The imperial courts around Chang'an had strict control, and merchants did not dare to barter. Most people in the north of the city used cloth and goods to trade. However, as soon as these copper coins were obtained, the fifth relationship made the fourth leg immediately go to the market for hard currency - cloth and grain.
Xinmang's orders changed every day. No one dared to save money from officials to the people. He became a good doctor after making a profit. People all over the world have suffered many losses, for fear that Wang Mang would go crazy again one day and waste the money he had passed.
Therefore, money is cheap and food is expensive. The fourth prince feels a little distressed, but he knows that there is nothing he can do, so he only secretly complained to the fifth prince: "If I could exchange copper coins for gold like the previous man, keep them."
During the Han Dynasty, gold was listed as a currency, but Wang Mang issued a state-owned ban on gold, requiring that private gold be allowed from the Marquis below, and that it must be sent to the treasury for exchange for equivalent items. However, the fourth said that it was not equal at all. At that time, a pound of gold could only be exchanged for two "one knife to level five thousand" copper wrong knives, which was simply a robbery!
"Everyone said that if gold is replaced with copper, the gold weight that has not been handed over yet!"
What's even better is that the wrong knife was abolished a few years later.
The fifth reunion sighed that Wang Mang was really a skilled leek farmer. Although many people hid gold, they didn’t dare to use it. It was said that Wang Mang collected all the gold in the palace and piled up the golden cakes into a hill.
Wu Lun licked his lips: "I don't know who will be cheaper in the end?"
Now, subject to court laws, after making commercial profits, buying land and slaves like in the past is not feasible. The food has a shelf life and is not easy to exchange too much at a time, so the excess profit funds are only one purpose left.
“Expand reproduction…”
The fifth reunion smiled. Wang Mang had so many tricks to block mergers and mergers. Thinking of the five equal system for loans to small industrial and commercial owners, he wouldn’t have wanted to force a germ of capitalism.
He asked the fourth child to hire craftsmen to build water mills and molds to improve the efficiency of making coal balls, and then find a way to buy some iron to replace the tools of workers and farmers. The efficiency of the small coal mine must be improved. Once snow falls, it will not be done again by December, which will really freeze people to death.
The production and sales of coal balls were on the right track, so the fifth reunion didn't have to run there. On the third day of November, he could finally take the time to do something that had been delayed for a long time.
"Go to Maoling!"
...
There are three bridges on the Wei River. Xiwei Bridge is also called Bianmen Bridge, which is the only way to travel between Chang'an and the western part of Yongzhou.
After crossing the Binmen Bridge, Di Wulun looked up and saw many small hills spreading from east to west on the loess plateau. The trees were lush and the cold was still green as cold as mid-winter. In fact, it was not a mountain, but an imperial tomb of the Han family.
From the Yangling of Emperor Jing of Han, the Changling of Emperor Gaozu of Han, to the Anling, Weiling, Pingling and other nine towers. Although the former Han Dynasty destroyed the country, these giant tombs stood quietly like the remains of the empire.
The largest mountain in the west is the Maoling of Emperor Wu of Han.
The capital of Jingwei County, which has been renamed "Xuancheng County", is located north of Maoling.
Although I had seen the peak of Maoling Mountain from afar, I ran to death on the mountain and went from Chang'an for a hundred miles, which took two days to go back and forth. On November 17, Di Lun had just walked out of Langshu and hurriedly left the city. When the moon rose to Zhongtian, he came to Xiliu Pavilion north of Bianmen Bridge and planned to rest here for a night.
This place was originally a place where Zhou Yafu of the former Han Dynasty stationed troops to defend the Huns, but now it has been abandoned. The camp has been flattened and developed into fertile fields. There is a small pavilion on the side of the road for passing cavalry and passers-by to rest.
As soon as I entered Xiliujiu, I saw several people standing in the yard, all of whom were soldiers with swords, pushing the prisoner escorted into the prison next to the toilet in the pavilion. The fifth rein saw that the prisoner looked familiar, and before he could take a closer look, the door of the prison was closed.
A hearty laughter sounded again on the side: "Isn't this Boyu?"
Looking back, it was Ma Yuan, who helped the Fifth Family half a month ago.
"Ma Zhiyou..."
"Just call me Wenyuan, there is no need to be separated." Ma Yuan was also wearing armor, a scarf on his head, and a knife on his waist. This supervisor seemed to be both literary and military.
"Boyu passed by Xiliu Pavilion late at night and went to sleep in, where are you going?"
"I was about to go to Maoling... Xuancheng." The fifth reunion said: "I have been in the documents of Lang's office these days, and I have no time to visit Wenyuan's house to thank him, and I don't want to meet here."
"I almost forgot about the trivial matter." Ma Yuan waved his hand and didn't care much about helping the fifth clan escape from his crime last time. He was a hero and kind-hearted person. He had been in the world for so many years and had no idea how many people he helped.
Ma Yuan glanced at the little prison guarding under his command and suddenly asked, "Boyu traveled widely. I'm afraid he was going to Maoling not just to find me?"
"really."
Knowing that Ma Yuan likes to go straight, the fifth relationship is not hiding: "In autumn, I inherited the love of Yuan Juxian, and I want to visit Yuan and admire the style of the heroes in Guanzhong."
"Isn't that a coincidence?" Ma Yuan put the scabbard on the table and said, "It's a good thing that Boyu met me halfway, otherwise he would have gone to waste his time."
“Why?”
"Then Ju had been involved in a big deal first." Ma Yuan said with slightest: "Now I am leaving behind the door and no one sees you."
Such a coincidence? Di Wu Lun asked curiously: "I heard that Yuan Juxian's words are more effective than the county magistrate. He has always been his guests, so who dares to provoke him?"
Ma Yuan sighed, "It's not the crime of the imperial court's great traitor. His former Xuancheng County Prison was imprisoned, so he went to a new county Prison, known as Duke Yin, who was known as a cruel official. However, on Duke Yin's post, everyone welcomed the city gate with Hui, but Yuan She did not come."
The hero Yuan was so arrogant. The fifth reunion shook his head secretly. This era emphasizes human etiquette and offends people if you are not careful, especially those with narrow minds. Yuanshe is used to being arrogant and is brothers and brothers to the county yin. He doesn't even look down on the real county priest, let alone a "fake priest".
Ma Yuan bounced his finger at the desk: "At this time, Yuanshe's family's customers went to the market to buy meat, and relied on Yuanshe's arrogance to argue with the butcher."
Until now, Di Wulun still has the mentality of eating melons and watching operas, and he was amused when he heard this: "Is it because the butcher asked the butcher to chop ten kilograms of gold into sauce and not see some meat on it?"
Anyway, the butcher was not a good person. The two of them argued. The Yuan clan's disciple drew a knife on the spot, seriously injured the butcher, and then ran away.
Just like Guo Jie was cheated by a gentleman from his disciples, the arrogant guests were double-edged swords. Fortunately, when Di Ren was in Changling, he confiscated those evil boys. He would rather discover honest people from the clan, or take in Zhang Yu and Zhu Di and other children with bad character and slowly raise them.
Ma Yuan said: "If you send someone to arrest the guests in such a small matter on weekdays, you will not dare to make things difficult for Yuan Juxian. However, Gong Yin took office and wanted to gain prestige to suppress the heroes of Maoling. In addition, the court investigated the corruption, Gong Yin put the two matters together, and wanted to punish Yuan for the crime of condoning the disciples, and investigate the extravagance of the Yuan family's tomb management and the extravagance of the system."
Yuanshe was mourning for his father for three years and refused to pay tens of millions of dollars for mourning. After gaining fame, he felt sorry for his deceased father, so he spent a lot of money to rebuild the tomb. He bought land to open the road, built the cemetery into the Zhou Pavilion, and established a stone carving office, which was comparable to the king and prince, and the locals called it "Yuan Shiqian".
"Mr. Yin was supported by the Five Powers and Mind, and a subordinate Wang Youweng advised him that he would kill Yuan Juxian to establish his authority. Bo Yu should know that at this critical moment, even the county magistrate did not dare to come out rashly to help Yuan get rid of the crime."
Indeed, Zhang Zhan, the fifth replies, avoided his family's affairs.
"Fortunately, Yuan She had many friends, and the Gongsun family and Qin family of the same county were all kind to him, so he persuaded Duke Yin to let Yuan Juxian go. In the end, Yuan She had to tie himself up, and ran to the county temple gate to apologize."
Feng Shui turns, exactly the same as Yuan Chu humiliated the Seventh Biao in autumn. Yuan Chu never expected that his father would have such a day.
"The Wuweisi ordered the case to be reported to the court. Duke Yin was promoted from a temporary fake priest to a real county priest. At this point, the matter was originally involved in being humiliated by the county priest and being famous, but..."
Speaking of this, Ma Yuan stopped and approached the fifth reunion and said: "Yuan Ju was convinced first, but his children and guests were quite angry. He also learned that Mr. Yin had heard the words of his subordinate Wang Youweng and demolished the 'Yuan Shiqian'. He was even more angry."
The fifth reunion said: "I will never kill the county magistrate Yin Gong?" In that case, it must have been a major case that alarmed the Sixth Guard. Originally, it was involved in either fleeing or rebelling directly.
Ma Yuan shook his head: "Yuan's family usually returns to Heng, but they don't have that courage. But yesterday, someone went to the home of Wang Youweng, the servant Wang Youweng, and killed Wang Yougong and his father, and left."
As soon as this family massacre occurred, the already quelled case immediately caused another stir. Yuan She might have to become Guo Jie's second. The fifth Lun remembered the prisoner escorted by Ma Yuan and suddenly realized: "Is the prisoner escorted by Wen Yuan a guest of the Yuan family?"
"Yes, the murderer came to the county center this morning to proclaim, and the county magistrate was sentenced to two hours."
Ma Yuan looked at Di Wu Lun and observed his expression: "I was ordered to take the prisoner to Chang'an Siming Mansion, which happened to be Bo Yu's acquaintance."
He smiled and said, "It's that Wan Xiu, Wan Junyou."
