Chapter 495 Liang He Leaves

Liang He followed the crowd to the lecture place and listened to the idle chatter of villagers from various villages.

"Did you learn what Master Xun and Doctor Xiaoxun taught you yesterday? I didn't remember it, but I remember that one catty is thirty coins and one catty is two taels of silver."

"Your brain isn't useless, it's too shrewd. You only remember the price." The person next to him complained and told him the name of the herb: "They are all Polygonatum odoratum. The cheap one is raw Polygonatum odoratum, and the one that costs two taels of silver is steamed and dried nine times... But we can't make the two taels of silver because we don't know how to prepare it."

"We can't make money? When the pharmacy is opened, all the villagers will go to work as assistants. As long as one person learns how to make medicine, all the villagers can prepare medicine by themselves!"

Liang He: “…” You are really smart.

But the pharmacy is not stupid. If you want to be their employee, you must sign a confidentiality agreement and a huge compensation agreement. Once the recipe for preparing medicinal materials is leaked, your entire village will be forced to sell themselves as compensation.

"There must be a lot of people from other places selling colored grass this year. Do you think the price of colored grass will drop?"

"Of course not. The new dye business is booming..."

The villagers discussed all kinds of things, but their words were full of hope, because they now had hope for their lives.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"It's time for class, it's time for class!" The gong sounded and the villagers hurried into the house.

After Old Man Xun, Xunzi and others arrived, the class began.

Liang He listened for two quarters of an hour, then turned and went to the room where the woman was teaching.

Xue Juan's wife received instructions from Xue Dongjia and did not have anyone drive Liang He away.

Liang He only watched for a quarter of an hour before he was attracted by the endless convoy and left quickly.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"Merchants are here to transport goods. Please make way and don't block the road!" The young men with the surname Lu hired by the Xue family shouted while beating gongs.

The convoys of several major merchants slowly drove into the new warehouse. After more than a quarter of an hour, at a glance, the area within ten acres was full of merchants' vehicles.

Soon, several groups of people got busy, checking goods, moving goods, and there was a lot of noise and the sound of animals. It was really lively.

"Boy, are you a servant of the Xue family? Then why don't you hurry up and move the goods! Everyone is busy, but you are lazy. I have to talk to Master Xue and punish you, this sneaky and cunning servant." Manager Yan snorted coldly and turned around to complain to Master Xue.

After hearing this, Xue Dongjia said: "..."

The Yan family is really unlucky. There are people everywhere, and you just happened to catch the eldest son of the general and scold him, and now you have ruined your backing.

"I heard that Mr. Xue went to the capital and met General Liang? General Liang is going to be promoted, right?" Chief Steward Yan asked, his words full of tentativeness.

Hearing that the chief stewards of the Jin, Jie, Kang and other families all had smiles on their faces, they looked at Xue Dongjia, but he was a smart man and no one agreed.

"Everyone, that's a general who has made great contributions to the emperor. We can't discuss this." Master Jia came out to change the subject and said with a smile: "Master Xue, summer is coming soon. This time, my family wants to get more light-colored soup. Master Xue, you have to take the initiative to give us two more trucks."

"Two trucks? Master Jia, please leave some for us. We, the Weng and Dan families, have come from far away. If we don't take more goods, the freight will increase, and the overall profit will be reduced." The chief stewards of the Weng and Dan families also came out to interrupt, and soon no one asked Mr. Xue about Deputy General Liang.

Chief Steward Yan saw this and could only give up temporarily. However, he was dissatisfied and cursed Mr. Xue in his heart, saying that he was just a lowly merchant who didn't even have any relatives in the official family, but he was close to that vicious general. One day, all the Xue family's property would be fed to that vicious general!

Unfortunately, he thought too much. The Liang father and son treated Xue Zhui very well only because the reputation of Xue Dongjia had reached the ears of the emperor.

Liang He and Liang Zhi acted very professionally and worked hard to move the goods. It took them two hours to move all the goods.

"Brother, this Qin family is really amazing. They sell color soup and pigment powder. When I inspected the goods, I went to see them. The pigment powder is very beautiful, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and blue. When we go to the Qin family tomorrow, let's ask them if they can give us a set of 24-color pigment powder?"

"Don't do unnecessary things, otherwise..." Liang He narrowed his eyes and looked at him warningly.

Liang Zhi felt a chill and said hurriedly, "Brother, I am sensible and will never ask the Qin family for pigment powder."

Can't he just spend money to buy it?

Liang He: "Not just this, don't do anything unnecessary."

Liang Zhi: "I know, I know. Just protect Mr. Xue's family."

Dangdang Dangdang!

"Merchants are returning, everyone make way!"

The gong sounded again, and half a quarter of an hour later, the convoy turned around and slowly left... A full quarter of an hour later, the convoy of the last merchant started.

With this scale of shipment, it’s no wonder that it can bring in tens of thousands of taels of profit every month.

Thanks to the donation, my father’s frown from worrying about military pay was reduced.

What made his father even happier was that this money was snatched from the traditional mineral dyeing of the aristocratic families by the new dye.

Whenever he talked about the losses of the aristocratic families, his father would always say, "You aristocratic families are so stingy, this time you lost so much that you even lost your underwear, hahaha!"

The next day, the brothers Liang He and Liang Zhi acted as martial artists and accompanied Xue Dongjia to the Qin family to meet the Qin family.

Perhaps because they had escaped the famine, the Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families were all quite thin, but in good spirits, with smiles on their faces and bright eyes. The children were polite and not afraid of others, and both the boys and girls were learning to read and write.

In the countryside, there are few literate people, and at most only the smartest boy in the family will be allowed to go to school. However, the Qin family allowed a girl from another family who was supported by the family to go to school and learn to read and write. This kind of affection alone is precious.

When the gong rang at noon to signal for lunch, Liang He was surprised again, because the Qin family provided the female workers with excellent food.

"Brother, this food tastes really good, with plenty of oil and water, and there are several pieces of meat. I can eat as much as I want!" Liang Zhi was at an age where he could eat a lot. He had already eaten two bowls of food. After saying that, he stood up and went to get more food.

Liang He just felt embarrassed, but the food in the Qin family workshop was really good... To be honest, the soldiers in the army could not eat such food, unless it was a battle meal when they were fighting for their lives, then there would be a few big pieces of meat.

I heard that when the workshop was first opened, because the villagers had a hard time, the Qin family workshop would cook more meals and tacitly allow the female workers to get more food for their own children.

After the villagers' lives became less tight, the female workers all took the initiative to ask the Qin family to supply them with meals.

"Brother, brother, take it quickly, this bowl is for you!" Liang Zhi came back with a bowl of overflowing food in one hand.

"..." Liang He couldn't help it and glared at him: "Eat less. Which martial artist would eat as much as he wants when he goes to the host's house as a guest?"

Liang Zhi laughed: "Brother, it's okay. Grandma Qin Wu said that because the Xue family's servants are here, they have prepared a lot more food today. We can eat as much as we want."

Liang He didn't want to pay attention to him and began to reflect... Which meal did this tiger brother go hungry for at home?

Ok?

I'm afraid he got hungry during his training in the army. After all, the food in the Qin family is indeed more oily than that in the army.

In the next two days, Liang He and Liang Zhi would accompany Xue Dongjia to the west of Guicun Village to finally settle the total account accumulated after the New Year.

Liang He stayed in Taifeng Town for another two days and was ready to leave tomorrow. He would bring his escort troops back to the capital as soon as possible and then rush to the capital.

On the afternoon before leaving, Liang He met the clerk who came to the Xue family's house.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when Guan Shuli was chatting with Xue Dongjia, he brought up the topic of military armor.

"The government was afraid that the victims would gather and cause trouble, so they wanted to suppress the victims and did not want to allow them to settle down so quickly."

"I also agreed with the government's approach at the time... But after seeing the bronze armor plaque of Village Chief Qin, I felt deeply ashamed and disobeyed the government's order and registered them."

Liang He was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help asking, "Bronze armor pieces? Does the clerk still remember the style of the armor pieces?"
