The Nexus of Time and Space in Marvel
Chapter 80 Time Gem
After staying lazily at home for seven or eight days, it wasn't until the morning of the ninth day that Yang Rong dragged her out of bed and said, "Didn't you say you were going to the county seat? How long has it been? Do you still plan to come back after the New Year?" Can’t go.”
I was too lazy to tell her that I had already been there once, and I was too lazy to tell her that I had completed the preliminary preparations.
Wang Fang got up from the bed and said, "Okay, let's go today, pack up, and rent an ox cart."
Ignoring the angry back of the other party, Wang Fang walked towards the east hall to check the fruits of his recent labor.
These are some slightly rough portraits, filled with ordinary-looking faces. If anyone is familiar with the county, they can easily see that the faces on these portraits are from major shops. The face of the shopkeeper.
There is Aunt Cai who sells sesame cakes in Dongjiekou, Aunt Li who sells vegetables in Nanmen Market, and Old Man Liu who delivers charcoal to big households in the city on time every morning.
The five or six portraits may seem ordinary, but they vividly display the characteristics of each person.
This is the result of Wang Fang's work over the past seven or eight days, and it is also an important means for him to examine people's hearts.
There were more than 200 beggars in the county, and it was impossible for him to understand them all. In this case, he could only use the means of future examinations and let the beggars answer their questions.
After packing up, it was already breakfast time. After a simple breakfast, I boarded the ox cart borrowed by Yang Rong and set off towards the county seat.
Since the second brother has grown to two meters long, there is no need for the second uncle to take him to the county seat. With such a seemingly powerful and invincible bodyguard to guard him, no one with short eyes would dare to attack Wang Fang.
Two hours later, it was approaching noon, and the county seat not far away was in sight. At this time, Wang Fang remembered that he should ask Yang Rong about the manpower he selected: "Where is the person you invited? Why don't you see him coming?"
"You still have the heart to care about this."
Yang Rong, who was still angry, said with a frosty face: "Look at you, do you still want to take revenge? You talk nice, but you sleep all day long."
A series of scoldings poured out of her mouth, and Wang Fang didn't bother to explain to her.
At noon, I had a simple meal at a roadside stall, and then went to the blacksmith shop to pick up the barrels, valves, etc. that I had already ordered.
At this time, Wang Fang had figured out the structure of the musket, so he no longer needed to waste his energy. He used it on the musket, two barrels, and several types of musket parts. He ordered them from three blacksmith shops. After taking them all out, they simply put them together. , just two simple muskets.
Of course, the musket at this time cannot be used, and it must be debugged before it can be fired with confidence. Otherwise, even he himself will not know whether the thing he made will explode.
After everything was done, it was already afternoon. Today's task was not heavy, just showing the portrait to the beggars.
He found a few beggars on the roadside, gave each of them ten copper coins, and ordered: "I need to find a few people in the county. After an hour, I will notify all your companions who can be seen to gather at the Guandi Temple in the west of the city. At that time, each person has ten eldest sons. After helping me find them, I will give you half a tael of silver."
The news of finding someone spread quickly through the beggars. This group of children living in hell has a share that they need to complete every day. If they fail to complete it, they will be deprived of food at least, and their hands and feet will be amputated if they are serious. At this moment, I heard that After just gathering together, there were ten big guys who spread out one by one and quickly informed their close friends.
After waiting for an hour at the Guandi Temple, almost all the beggars in the county were present. Each of these guys was more active in collecting money, and some even waited here half an hour in advance.
He called Yang Rong to give money to every beggar who came. After the entire Guandi Temple was filled, Wang Fang took out two portraits and said to everyone present: "Look carefully, these two people, every time they find Give each one half a tael of silver. If you find them all, give them one tael. I will come over in three days, and whoever finds them first will be given the money first."
While speaking, in order to prevent too many people from colluding, Wang Fang spoke again: "Besides, I only have ten taels of silver in my hand. That is to say, it's first come, first served. Even if others find it, they won't have any silver left." collar."
After simply giving the task, Wang Fang turned around and left. As for the so-called problem of taking money without doing things, there is no need to worry at all. Half a tael of silver is almost equivalent to half a month's living expenses of an ordinary farmer. For the group of extremely poor beggars in front of him, Said, almost equivalent to a month's begging share.
After all the beggars identified the people in the portraits, Wang Fang took the portraits away again. It was not that he did not want to keep the portraits, but he was afraid that if he left them behind, they would be robbed by the organizers behind the beggars, and those who came to collect the money would then He must not be an ordinary beggar, but the core backbone of that gang of organizations. After all, ten taels of silver is considered a considerable fortune, and the organizer's daily income may not exceed ten taels of silver.
After cleaning up, they left the Guandi Temple. Yang Rong asked: "What if they don't believe it?"
"I won't believe it, at least for the sake of my clothes."
As he spoke, he pointed to the clothes on himself and Yang Rong, and said: "This is why I asked you to find some good clothes. Although you look like a maid even if you put on the best clothes, at least I look like a young master. .
The young master from a wealthy family wants to find two people to play with on a whim. Does he need a reason for this? No. "
After a brief explanation, Wang Fang ignored Yang Rong's gloomy expression and asked again: "Where is the person you are looking for? Bring him over and have a look. Didn't you say he is in the county? Why haven't you seen him come yet?"
"He hasn't finished his work yet. He can't come over until the butcher shop closes his stall."
"Butcher, butcher."
Looking at Yang Rong with great interest, Wang Fang said: "How do you know such a person?"
"Not a butcher, not a butcher"
As if piercing Xiao Nizi's pain point, Yang Rong said eagerly: "He is a scholar and a very good person. If there was no one to support him, he would definitely still be studying in the academy."
He thought he was Yang Rong's childhood sweetheart, but Wang Fang glanced at her with a playful expression, but heard the other person say in a low voice: "He is my brother, and my father replaced Mr. Yang just to give him a book to repair." The second is to do corvée work.”
Yang Laoer is the biological brother of the third aunt of the He family, and can also be regarded as Wang Fang's relative. As if he was afraid that Wang Fang would be angry, Yang Rong said anxiously: "I don't blame Uncle Yang, he gave twenty taels of silver, which is more than other families." Double the amount, it’s just my father’s bad luck that this kind of thing happened to him.”
His voice became softer and softer, and by the time he finished speaking, tears were streaming down his face.
This kind of thing really cannot be blamed on the second child of the Yang family. After all, they gave enough money, but the current result is that Yang Rong's father was killed by an adulterer, her mother committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and her brother, who had a great future, dropped out of the academy and ran away. She went to work as a waiter in a butcher's shop, and she herself was bought with five taels of silver to serve as someone else's child bride.
You can imagine what a happy family this is, with both children and a prosperous life. The son is studying in college and the daughter is pretty and lovely.
Unfortunately, because of a labor day, everything disappeared. See more Weixin official account: hhxs665
