Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Ever since his father spent half a day going to school every day, Wang Xiujin has been an obedient student, reading the books his father specially selected for him, and when he settled down to concentrate on his studies, without impetuosity, Wang Xiujin discovered that the ancient prose There are many interesting places, which made him more and more interested, but no matter how interested he was, he would not listen to his father's persuasion to take the children's exam. He felt that the ancient imperial examinations were too tortured.

Apart from going to the school every day, Wang Xiujin spends the rest of his time on the integration of the grain store, and also plans to plant rice in the crab field for the new year. The village head of Wang Village has approached Wang Xiujin several times recently, and the nearby villages are all rich. When I got up, those who had no land before have bought land one after another in recent years. The houses in my family were demolished and rebuilt, and each of them lived a prosperous life that day.Because the crab seedlings are bought with my own money, they are more carefully raised. Of course, when the shopkeeper Wu goes to collect crabs, he is also very picky, and he wants to make up for the lack of feet.That's it, they still earn a lot of money.On the other hand, Wang Village is still poor and rich, how could the village chief not be in a hurry? After so many years, the punishment for those people is enough. Now everyone doesn’t expect Wang Xiujin to provide crab seedlings, and they also agree with everyone. I also paid for it, just hoping to grow crab rice.

The village chief looked for Wang Xiujin a few times, either he didn't see anyone, or he was busy. He wondered if he and Wang Xiujin were not close, so he thought about asking his old father to come forward, so Wang Xiujin could give him some kindness no matter what.

The old village chief felt that his son was still too immature. Is the school a place to talk about things?It was a place where children could read and write, how could they talk about things that had nothing to do with sage books, Wang Laoliu didn't drive them out, it was already giving their family face.After letting his son drive the ox cart into the city, the old village chief went straight to the grain shop, and it should be here to talk about grain.Wang Xiujin said in front of everyone that the Wang Family Grain Shop in Xiangcheng was in debt to the shopkeeper, so he should talk to the shopkeeper first, if not, then talk to Wang Xiujin.

When shopkeeper Yu saw the old village head, he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted. The old village head didn't turn the rag, but directly expressed his intention...to let everyone in the village grow crab rice.Shopkeeper Yu smiled wryly, "Old village chief, it's not embarrassing for you."

"People in the village use money to buy crab seedlings, and don't want them for nothing. You can talk to Xiu Jin." The old village head didn't put on airs, "It's all the villagers who made troubles themselves, and they won't enjoy the good fortune." After speaking, he sighed again. When he was the village head, he was also angry with those people in the village. But now, compared with other villages, the life of the villagers feels sorry for those in this village who are still not doing well.

"Old village chief, I told my boss about this matter, and my boss would not agree to it. The previous boss just decided to send a few farmers in the house to the border. Hearing that there is black land, the land It’s fat! What the owner means is that Xiangcheng is self-sufficient in food, and all the food needed in the north will be provided by the border.” The shopkeeper spread his hands, “Old village chief, it’s not because someone’s words are not pleasant, some people help Come on, don’t ask for gratitude and virtue, but ask for a good word! As for those people in the village, if you really promise this matter, they will be grateful to you for running around for them at such an old age?"

The old village chief and the village chief laughed wryly after hearing this. The father and son knew that the shopkeeper Yu was telling the truth, but they couldn't just watch? "Is it okay to farm at the border?"

"How can it not be possible? The fourth prince is guarding over there. With the relationship between the master's family and the royal family, you always think that something will be impossible?" Shopkeeper Yu knows that the fourth prince is the Zhao Si who often travels to Wu County. Young master, it's just that this matter should not be talked about by outsiders, even the mother-in-law at home, he dare not say a word.

The old village chief took a deep breath, then shook his head with a wry smile. It would be useless to discuss this matter with shopkeeper Yu, so he had to wait for Wang Xiujin. "Trust shopkeeper Yu to send a message to Xiu Jin, to tell the story, the old man, whether he can or not, is doing his best."

"Okay." Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly responded.

Not long after seeing off the old village head and his son, Wang Xiujin wandered into the grain shop. Today, he went to the oil factory first when he entered the city, and asked the accountant to prepare more New Year's goods for the workers who were going back to their hometown. Those who didn't go home for the New Year would open two more Monthly salary as a bonus.The oil mill has made a lot of money in these years, and has already earned back the capital invested.Some of the workers in the workshop bought a house in the city, and they all moved back two days after they moved out. They felt that the dormitory in the oil workshop was their home.Wang Xiujin didn't care about moving in or out. The dormitory was built for them, and they could live wherever they wanted.

As soon as Wang Xiujin picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, he heard shopkeeper Yu relay the story of the old village head of Wang Village bringing the village head here. Wang Xiujin put down his teacup and sighed, "The old village head is a sensible person. , I go to the village chief’s house every year to pay New Year’s greetings, but I don’t see the old village chief mentioning it. Now I think that punishment for those people should be enough. Shopkeeper Yu, I don’t treat you as an outsider. Do you think this matter can be dealt with? If you agree, those people will go back to their old ways, and I am not here. My elder brother has to think about his reputation when he is an official, and my father... don't mention it, I am not sure about his temperament. There is still a man in the family, but the baby is too young , can’t handle it at all.”

There are some things that Wang Xiujin has to think about. Now only the elder brother is the official in their family. If there are any scandals of bullying the neighbors, the reputation of the Wang family will be ruined. He doesn't care, but the elder brother still wants to For promotion, the elder sister has to show face at her in-law's house, and indirectly lose face of the royal family, and let a villain who can only write a pen, don't ask the foreword, only hear the consequences, and send a note of advice.The Wang family can't think about it.I can't blame Wang Xiujin for thinking too much, but in this society, reputation can kill a family, a clan, or even a village.

Shopkeeper Yu was speechless. He had contact with people in Wangcun, and it cannot be said that all of them were annoying, but there were some people who made people not want to deal with them.Speaking of which, there are people like this in every village, but because the owner comes from Wangcun, the matter in Wangcun is infinitely magnified, and some people in Wangcun can really put their noses on their faces with a smile.When encountering such a situation, not to mention that the good-tempered owner is unwilling to deal with it, even those who are watching from the sidelines will get angry.

Wang Xiujin didn't let Shopkeeper Yu relay the message. When he returned to the village from the city, he first went to the village chief's house. These days, the village chief looked for him, and he had guessed, but because he was really busy, and he didn't know the village chief went to the school to find someone. So a little annoying.When the village chief saw Wang Xiujin enter the courtyard, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and hurriedly asked his wife to invite his father out.After a while, the old village chief came out, and Wang Xiujin immediately got up and went to help him.

The old village chief's body was strong and he didn't need anyone to support him, but Wang Xiujin's action touched the old village chief's heart. It showed Wang Xiujin's respect for him, and he was a bit speechless when he wanted to speak.

Wang Xiujin didn't pretend to be stupid. After the old man sat down, he expressed his joy and asked everyone in the village to plant crab fields. He didn't agree, and he couldn't agree.

The old village head had obviously thought of Wang Xiujin's answer, but he couldn't help being a little disappointed when he heard the straightforward reply.The village chief on the side wanted to say something, but was stopped by his father, so he didn't bring up the matter again. The old village chief asked Wang Xiujin when he was going to take the imperial examination. Get up to say goodbye and leave.After the people left, the village chief asked his father why he didn't let him speak. "How old is my boss? It's not as good as your son's long-term perspective. Let you speak, what are you going to say, that they will definitely not make the mistakes of the past? Not to mention, it is your younger brother, can you guarantee it? Or Don't cause trouble for Lao Liu's family, it's their own fault that they have ended up like this."

The village chief opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't refute his father's words, he shook his head and sighed, forget it, his family's life is good, there is no need to make Tian Ding tired of their family.As for what the villagers think, they can think whatever they want!Anyway, with Xiu Bai as the county magistrate, the village head would not be replaced by someone else.

After Wang Xiujin returned home, he told his father about it.I don't know where my father's disgust towards Wang Village came from, and he immediately said that he was right to refuse.Wang Xiujin sometimes wondered what his father had experienced before. He heard his mother mention that when his father was the prime minister, he mentioned the matter of dividing the clan. It's not surprising that the ancestral hall is enshrined, but now it's different. He always feels that his father is not very friendly to Wangcun, or some people in the village.I couldn't tell my family members about this matter, so when I wrote a letter to Li Sushan, I unconsciously revealed it.

Li Sushan received Wang Xiujin's letter, and after reading it, he immediately replied to Wang Xiujin's letter. In the letter, he expressed his approval for Wang Xiujin's refusal. Although he didn't fully understand what happened before, but now the status of the Wang family is different, and there is nothing wrong with being careful. .Then he wrote about family affairs, without mentioning the recent bloody storm in the capital.The incident was initially caused by food interception, but the development of the incident was beyond everyone's expectations. Who would have believed that the prince would be a collaborator and would involve the emperor's harem. He did not know what happened after that, so he did not continue to investigate Well, he wouldn't dare to inquire about the matter of the emperor's backyard.

Li Sushan was wronged for Wang Xiujin, how long can half a cart of grain be sold for?How much money you make has become someone else's property in vain.In particular, Wang Xiujin never asked whether the food could be recovered, and Li Sushan felt even more uncomfortable.

Wang Xiujin was following his nephew to put up window grilles, and sneezed several times in a row. Mrs. Wang immediately ordered the girl to cook ginger soup, so as not to catch cold.Wang Xiujin rubbed his nose, stayed away from his little nephew, and thought about cursing and muttering, what if he hit him five times in a row?catch cold?He didn't feel sick either!
