The happy life of a prodigal

Jiang San is one of them.

Before entering the exchange, he was just an ordinary road repairer.

I can earn a lot of money every month, but I spend it all.

Because he came here from another state capital, with no support and no evidence, like duckweed floating on the water.

It costs more than half of his wages just to rent the mansion every month.

But the exchange has brought him a completely different life.

He still remembers how he walked into the exchange with five taels of silver, and how he left the exchange with 100 taels of silver.

In just over half a month, he earned 100 taels of silver with five taels of silver.

It's like a dream.

Even, things that I dare not even dream about, actually happened in reality.

not only that.

In the next few months, although he lost some money in this exchange, he still earned most of it.

Moreover, the money earned is far more than the money lost.

Just half a month ago, he already had nearly 1000 taels of silver on him.

1000 taels of silver!

What a concept!

In the past, even if he kept farming without eating or drinking, he might not be able to earn so much money in 100, 200, or even 300 years.

Now, in just half a year, he has earned so much money.

Therefore, he took all his wife and children in his hometown to Kyoto Prefecture.

He bought new clothes for his wife and children, and took the two of them to Zuihua Pavilion to have a good meal.

Even after earning so much money, it was the first time for him to go to a restaurant.

He still remembers how delicious those meals were.

but......

1000 taels of silver is not much, but it is not much.

In a place like Kyoto Prefecture, if you want to buy a mansion that can accommodate three people and is not crowded, 1000 taels of silver is simply impossible.

Especially in places like the south of the city, the worst mansions cost 2000 taels of silver to start.

What's more, his money has to be placed in the exchange to earn more money.

Therefore, he could only rent a larger mansion in the north of the city, and the monthly rent was five taels of silver.

Don't underestimate the five taels of silver. In the past, even if he didn't eat or drink, he would have to earn it in two or three months.

For road construction, he can earn money in a month, but that's all. If the money is used to rent a mansion, he has to think about what to eat.

However, it is different now.

To him, these five taels of silver were nothing at all.

As long as there is silver, silver can become more silver.

Therefore, he only left 100 taels of silver for family expenses.

The remaining 900 taels of silver are still left in the exchange.

He always firmly believes that as long as there is no accident, he can earn more 1000 taels.

But, who would have thought?

In just a few days, as long as you are on the exchange, you can see everything is black, no matter what the dividends are, they are all falling.

Everyone seems to think that as long as they can quickly sell their dividends, they will earn money!

Jiang San couldn't believe that this exchange would become like this several times. Everyone else was selling dividends, and he was also selling dividends.

However, after selling the dividends, he quickly bought them back... In his opinion, the dividends will rise sooner or later. As long as he grit his teeth and hold on, he will definitely be able to The day when dividends rise again!

For several days in a row, he stayed in the exchange, and if there was any disturbance in the price of dividends, he would react immediately.

but?

what's the result?

As a result, the price of this dividend has dropped again and again, and then dropped again... Today, his dividend, which was originally worth 900 taels, can only be sold for more than 100 taels at most.

Even other people who didn't take any action but just thought about selling their dividends got much more silver than him.

For a moment, he felt that all thoughts were lost, and everything in front of him was shrouded in darkness.

Life is also without the slightest hope.

but......

Suddenly, he thought of himself half a year ago.

At that time, I only had a few taels of silver every month, and I had to build roads every day until my waist was sore and my back hurt, and I couldn't move. Isn't it a good life?

Now, although I have lost so much silver, it is still better than before.

Thinking of this, I feel a little better.

Jiang San raised his eyes and glanced at the dividend sign, gritted his teeth, and finally did not stay here any longer.

Gritting his teeth, he left the exchange.

He knows that the current exchange is like this, no matter what you do, the dividends will drop.

That being the case, just leave him alone, and when the price of dividends rises again, come back by yourself.

At that time, it may not be possible to earn money, but it will not be possible to lose so much money.

What I have to do now is to persevere, and if I persevere until the end, I can see the dawn!

He walked out of the gate of the exchange, looked at the sunlight outside, and took a deep breath.

He stretched out his hand, trying to stop a rickshaw.

However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he thought of his current situation, gritted his teeth, and finally couldn't stop him.

Instead, he walked to the side sign and waited quietly.

In the south of the city, there are carriages going to and from other places every day. A dozen or even dozens of people are squeezed into one carriage. Although it is a bit tired and hard work, it is cheap.

Often one penny or two pennies is enough...

Jiang San looked at the rickshaws coming and going, and was in a daze for a while.

He didn't know what to do with himself now.

The first thousand and 170 chapters six carriages

After waiting for a while, a carriage stopped in front of the exchange.

"Here we come! Here we go! A penny for getting in the car! A penny for getting in the car!"

The coachman shouted loudly with a whip in his hand.

The three horses pulling the cart in front snorted and looked a little tired.

In the next second, all the people beside Jiang San crowded into the carriage, and everyone handed the driver a penny.

Jiang San hesitated for a moment, took out a penny from his bosom, handed it to the coachman, and squeezed into the carriage.

It has to be said that the space inside this carriage is too narrow, with more than a dozen people crowded together, it looks extremely crowded.

Because it was winter, the outside of the carriage was wrapped in thick quilts, leaving only a small window for ventilation.

Even so, the air is still not circulating, making it difficult to breathe.

Besides, there was the pungent smell inside the carriage, which really made Jiang San frowned.

However, he soon got used to it.

In any case, he was also a road repair worker before, so he still has some patience after all.

Stayed in the carriage for a while.

He found a bigger problem.

The lack of air circulation, the pungent temperature, the crowding, and the noise are all tolerable.

The most unbearable thing is darkness.

It was clearly daytime, but the inside of the carriage seemed to be in the dark. You couldn't see your fingers, you could only hear a burst of noise, and you didn't even know where you were, and you couldn't see the outside environment.

It's like a bird locked in a cage, which makes people feel a little suffocated.

For some reason, the two people next to him started arguing.

One said he squeezed him, and the other did the same, accusing each other, and almost getting into a fight.

Of course, there is no way for them to have a real fight in such a small space.

Soon, the noise died down.

Jiang San closed his eyes, feeling a little depressed in his heart.

Suddenly I missed the rickshaw.

Although this rickshaw is more expensive than this horse-drawn carriage, it has to be said that it is a completely different experience.

Sitting on a rickshaw, you can see the changes in the surrounding scenery, you can see people coming and going, you can breathe fresh air, and you can see all kinds of things in the world.

But in this carriage, you can't hear anything except the noise, and you can't see anything except the sunshine at the small window.

"Hey......"

Jiang San sighed involuntarily, feeling extremely emotional for a moment.

This life with money and without money is completely different.

Who let himself lose money in the exchange, and now he can only afford such a carriage, what can he do?

With that in mind, he stopped complaining.

The carriage walked on the road for a while, and suddenly stopped again.

Immediately afterwards, the coachman yelled again.

"Is there anyone! Is there anyone!"

After a while, several people squeezed into the carriage.

The coachman lifted the curtain again and asked, "We've arrived at Chunfenglou, do you want to get off?"

Everyone is silent.

The Chunfeng Building is the most prosperous place in the south of the city, and even in the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

Generally speaking, only in the morning, laborers will get off the bus here, and at noon, laborers will get on the bus here.

At other times, most people ride rickshaws here.

"Leave without anyone, don't curse later!"

The coachman yelled again, then lowered the curtain and continued on his way.

The south of the city is not too far from the north of the city, but it is not too close either.

It takes nearly an hour to walk along the way.

Stop and go during this period.

Someone got out of the carriage, and someone got into the carriage.

Jiang San kept his eyes closed from beginning to end.

Finally arrived in the north of the city.

The coachman yelled, "We've arrived at the third corner in the north of the city. Has anyone gotten off?"
