Chapter 769 Kicked by a donkey? (build)

Since he couldn't figure it out, Li Keen temporarily put the matter of the green skins behind him.

The Netherlands is not Daming. Li Keen, who has lived in Daming for a period of time, knows very well that if three people are killed in one night, Daming's official servants can search for clues like mad dogs, and the life of the official will be difficult.

As for the Netherlands, let’s forget it—although the Netherlands is generally good now, but after all, it belongs to a part of Europe that is in chaos, and occasionally a few vitality group members die, and no one cares at all.

As soon as he picked up the tea brewed by Cai Caizi, Li Keen felt a pain in his heart—the taste of Nanai Zi’s brewing was very familiar to him, and it tasted exactly the same as the tea that he bought with a tael of gold and a tael of tea. !

After taking a sip from the teacup, Gou Lei sighed and said, "Usually I heard that there is a kind of tribute tea in the palace, which I can't wait to see. It is said that it has a long aftertaste. I really want to buy some to taste."

After finishing speaking, Gou Lei laughed at himself again: "Actually, it's just thinking about it. Although that kind of tea is also available outside, the price is ridiculously high, and it is simply not something ordinary people like me can afford.

This kind of tea, which is always precious and worth a catty, also comes from Shaofu, and the taste is good. In Daming, only rich people can afford to drink it. If I didn’t come to the Netherlands with Mr. Cohen, I’m afraid I would not be willing to buy it so expensive. tea leaves. "

Li Keen's heart was bleeding.

When he heard that it came from the Shaofu, Li Keen almost understood in his heart that the tea Li Chengyan sold to himself at the price of one tael of gold and one tael of tea can be bought for a catty in Daming for only one tael of silver.

This is no longer a simple matter of adding a zero or changing the unit. It is simply subtracting a zero from the weight and adding another zero to the price. It can be summed up in two words, cheating!

Looking back, Li Keen looked at Gou Lei with fiery eyes, which almost made Gou Lei misunderstand whether Li Keen had a habit of cutting off his sleeves, Long Yang was so good...

After picking up the tea and taking another sip, Li Keen said: "Brother Gou, next time you go back to Daming, why don't you just go and buy a few thousand catties of tea? By then, we brothers will be able to make a fortune just relying on this tea." fiscal!"

Gou Lei shook his head and said: "Don't think about it, any commoner of Ming Dynasty can buy ten catties of tea in the government office of the state capital where they live, and the price is also a catty of treasure money. .

However, this ten catties is a quota for the whole year, and the price after ten catties is one tael of gold and one tael of tea leaves, you and I are no exception.As for relying on other Ming people to buy it for you and then ship it to the sea, don't even think about it. "

Seeing that Gou Lei stopped talking, Li Keen directly took out a few silver coins from his pocket, and pushed them in front of Gou Lei: "Mr. Gou, please advise?"

Gou Lei was not polite, and directly put away the silver coins: "It's very simple, first of all, it is impossible for you to take such a large amount of tea out of the customs, and the government will not let it go.

Secondly, many wealthy people in Daming also hoped that this way of playing would allow them to drink more of this kind of tea, and the common people naturally hoped to earn more money by this method.

When you get involved, if you want the people of Ming Dynasty to buy it for you, the estimated price will be eight or nine taels of silver per catty. How much profit do you have in it?If these two problems are not resolved, the rest will be nothing but illusions, understand? "

Hearing Gou Lei's words, Li Keen's heart suddenly became cold. If it was really like Gou Lei's words, the people of Ming Dynasty would not be much cheaper than themselves in buying tea.

What I need is not ten catties or eight catties, but thousands of catties. After more than ten catties, the price that the people of Ming Dynasty buys is also ten taels of gold and one tael of tea. I am still short of this ten catties?

From this point of view, Li Chengyan is not cheating himself, it is just that he did not tell himself that the household registration of the people of Ming Dynasty can buy ten catties of tea at a low price.

In addition, what Gou Lei said is also true. At least Li Keen thinks that he is no match for the group of people in Daming Customs—they are all human spirits, and a little monster like himself is fighting against a thousand-year-old fox. , It is estimated that he will die miserably!

After giving up the very tempting idea of ​​buying tea at a low price and selling it at a high price, Li Keen continued: "By the way, let's forget about the tea, how about we go to my house today?"

Gou Lei said reservedly: "If that's the case, why bother?"

Li Keen was overjoyed immediately, and said with a smile: "Why do you bother me? It's the good fortune of my Li family that the dog was taught by Mr. Hong Fuhe, and it's all thanks to the great kindness of the emperor Hong Fuhe. I dare not forget it in this life!"

Listening to Li Keen's polite words, Goulei felt that goosebumps were falling all over his body - if this guy didn't have yellow curly hair and blue eyes, just listening to his accent and expression, he would almost Thought this guy was a Daming man!

In fact, if Li Keen didn't look at his appearance now, no one would think that this guy is a Dutchman - even the two sons in the family's apprentice ceremony, Li Keen has prepared enough etiquette!

Of course, Gou Lei saw that this ceremony of appreciating a teacher was a bit out of place - ten pieces of pork, a jug of wine, and a big yellow dog.

"Book of Rites Shaoyi": "It is given to people with a pot of wine, a bundle of repairs, and a dog."

It is estimated that Li Keen is a good reader and does not seek deep understanding, or he has read Zheng Xuan's commentary on "Book of Rites·Shaoyi": "Shuxiu is also a ten-legged breast."

Ten pieces of pork and a big yellow dog made Gou Lei think four words: Is it better than a dog or a pig?

But Gou Lei couldn't find any faults with the apprenticeship ceremony organized by Li Keen, or he couldn't bear to find faults.

A barbarian who has just been naturalized, what kind of teacher apprentice ceremony can you expect a barbarian to prepare?Being able to prepare like this is enough to prove his hard work!

After all, this thing was bought according to the "Book of Rites Shaoyi" - although it was not popular in Ming Dynasty, more good things like antique calligraphy and painting have been replaced.

After thinking about it again, Gou Lei's heart regained his balance. After all, he is just a boy, and he doesn't even have the reputation of a scholar. It is not easy for someone to ask him to be a teacher.

After putting aside those messy thoughts, Gou Lei smiled and said to Li Keen: "By the way, if there are some familiar neighbors or children from relatives and friends nearby, if the age is similar to Mr. Ling, you might as well call them to study together."

Seeing the worried look on Li Keen's face, Gou Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Coen, don't worry, it's a good thing to have more children, and it won't delay your son's studies."

Li Keen pondered and said: "I don't worry about anything else, but I am worried that there will be too many children, sir will inevitably be distracted? After all, this is a place where saints do not come, and most of the barbarians are ignorant of etiquette. , and embarrassing education?"

Gou Lei was almost laughed to death by Li Keen—a barbaric place where saints don't come?Barbarians?How did you come up with these two statements?

When the sage Confucius traveled around the world, he never heard of a person named Holland among the countries?You are not among the nations. It is estimated that the saint doesn't even know where your poor place is. How did he come here?

And barbarians?Except that you, Li Keen, and your wife have Daming household registration, even your son is what you call a barbarian, and now you have learned to despise barbarians?

very good, very powerful!Nothing wrong!

After a laugh, Gou Lei said: "Call everyone over here, the Master said that there is no discrimination in teaching, and he also said that if three people walk together, there must be my teacher.

Although it is inevitable to be distracted by having more children, there must be a heart of comparison with each other when there are more children, which is also a boost to your son's studies.

In addition, I will also make up lessons for your son's studies from time to time, and it will definitely not affect your son's studies. "

Seeing Gou Lei's resolute attitude, Li Keen didn't insist any more, and simply responded: "That's fine, it's just that those savages are being educated by saints at a lower price."

After bowing to Gou Lei, Li Keen went to the neighbor's house, and Elena brought out a plate of fruit and put it on the table next to Gou Lei, wringing the corners of her clothes with both hands, not knowing what to say.

No way, Li Keen was obsessed with Daming's book culture and could not extricate himself, but Elena had no interest in these messy knowledge, and was only interested in Gou Lei.

Gou Lei, who was wearing a Confucian long shirt and sitting upright on a chair, just responded to the saying that he had a poetic spirit in his stomach, and his upright spirit made Elena want to say something but couldn't say it.

After secretly hating that she was so ignorant that she couldn't even speak, Elena made up her mind to follow Mr. Gou to learn Daming's language and characters, otherwise she wouldn't be so full of words that she didn't know what to say. Where to start.

Just when Gou Lei was pondering whether to start teaching from "Ji Yun" or "San Zi Jing", Lan Xin was also having a headache.

The man in front of me had a pale face, and looked thin and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. If it wasn't for the scar on his face that ruined the overall feeling, he could be called a handsome man .

However, Lansing, who had just watched this man practice the knife when he entered the hospital, knew in his heart that if anyone really thought that the man in front of him was emaciated, he probably didn't even know how he died-the arm was thick and thin, and he swung the knife in an instant. To cut it into two pieces, even with the sharpness of the knife, I am afraid that the strength of this person's two arms is not small!

After wiping his hands with the wet towel placed on the table, Liu Xiaoyao said to the interpreter standing beside him, "Ask him, what is the purpose of coming to see the captain?"

After listening to the interpreter's words, Lansing said directly: "It's like this, I got some information about Tsarist Russia in my hand, and I came here to report it to your lord?"

When Liu Xiaoyao heard the word tsar, the veins on his hands suddenly popped up, and it took a while to calm down.

tsar?Apart from the Son of Heaven, who else dares to be the emperor?Kill the emperor?What do these savages want?These damned savages are indeed people without kings and fathers, so they should all be wiped out!

Suppressing his anger, Liu Xiaoyao nodded and said: "Just say it, if the information is of great use, it will naturally benefit you. Even if the information is worthless, the captain will still remember your contribution."
