Blessings of Time Traveling

Qi Mingcheng and Ah Deng separated directly outside the yamen, I wish you all the best, and see you again by fate.

When Qi Mingcheng returned to the inn alone, except for Ah Deng, the other five people sat crowded around a table, as if they were waiting for him.Qi Mingcheng guessed that they also wanted to redeem themselves, so he said, "A Deng redeemed himself and left... If any of you want to leave, I will not stop you."

The reason why he speaks so bluntly is not because he is a saint, not because he has too much sympathy, but because the education he has received in modern times makes him never look at problems like people of this era.From these people's point of view, the contract of selling one's body means selling one's own life to the master, but from Qi Mingcheng's point of view, it's just a kind of employment contract. He pays and these people contribute.And if these people want to leave, it's actually just a termination of the contract. As long as it doesn't affect Qi Mingcheng's work, he can give them the right to "go".

Qi Mingcheng is actually very aware of the difference in cognition between the two sides, and he doesn't want to change his mind.

Since he is right and this era is wrong, why should he change it?

As an adult, he will not talk about this difference of thought, as long as he knows his persistence.

"Damn...why didn't he tell us he was leaving!" The man with the cut in his ear couldn't help but patted the table.

In fact, all five of them knew that Ah Deng was going to leave eventually, but they didn't expect that Ah Deng would leave so quietly.Originally thought that Ah Deng just continued to accompany his master to go out here and there like two days ago, but he didn't expect that when they returned to the house, they found that Ah Deng's urn was gone, so they realized that he might have left.It's really too much, everyone has shared weal and woe for so long, does he just leave like that?

Among the remaining five people, only one finally decided to leave, named Gu Gao. His family members were all killed by the Yinlan tribe, so he was determined to join the army and avenge his family on the battlefield.The four who chose to stay were named Ah Shun, Wang Gen, Wang Shitou and Bao Chunsheng.

Ah Shun is the youngest, and in Qi Mingcheng's opinion, he is not yet an adult. He knows a little about herbal medicine.

There is a gap in Wang Gen's ear, and he has a straightforward personality, always saying something in front of people close to him.

Wang Shitou and Bao Chunsheng are older and more cautious because they are used to living a life of ups and downs.

Gu Gao is not like Ah Deng, he really has no money on him, and Qi Mingcheng bought the only two sets of clothes for him.Fortunately, those who voluntarily sign up to join the army can pay three months' salary in advance, so he has three taels of silver.The risk of being a soldier in Yutong City is very high, so the treatment of low-level soldiers can't be said to be bad, and of course it can't be considered good. In short, there is food and housing included, and there is still a tael of silver per month.

Gu Gao gave all three taels of silver to Qi Mingcheng.

Qi Mingcheng was not short of this money, but he still took the money.After all, if he ransom Gu Gao for free, what about the other four?Don't worry about scarcity but inequality, even though the four of Ah Shun may not be overwhelmed, Qi Mingcheng just wants to eliminate the possible problems from the source.

Qi Mingcheng spent five taels of silver when he bought Gu Gao, even if he didn't overcharge him, it would still be two taels short.

However, seeing that Qi Mingcheng obviously didn't want to get entangled in this matter, Gu Gao himself felt very guilty.However, he really wanted to join the army so much, so he planned to wait until the end of the year when he had the salary in his hand, and then asked someone to bring it to Qi Mingcheng.

Qi Mingcheng responded with a smile.Taking advantage of Gu Gao's inattention, he secretly put three taels of silver back into his bag, along with a letter.

How can a man have no money outside?Besides, Gu Gao is going to go to the battlefield. Based on his original intention of going to the battlefield, he must have taken the initiative to squeeze into the vanguard team... Qi Mingcheng admires such a person, he can't help much, but he was not accepted Redemption money.

After Gu Gao left, Qi Mingcheng also planned to exchange the goods in his hand for silver and then for goods, and then went home.

Although Yutong City has suffered from wars all year round, the city does not appear to be depressed at all.From the perspective of commercial exchanges, there are horse dealers, ginseng dealers, fur dealers, and jade dealers... Even the tea and rouge gouache that Qi Mingcheng brought from the south can be sold at high prices here.Let’s talk about rouge and gouache first. All his inventory is taken over by a certain general’s family, who is said to be a certain general’s concubine.

The general's surname is Han.Because of the current emperor's decision on paper, the generals will not stay in one place for a long time, but will take turns in several places.This General Han will only stay in Yutong City for four months a year, and he has a concubine in just these four months?This concubine is also very rich by spending a lot of money?No matter what the people's opinion of this general is, Qi Mingcheng's perception of him is not good.

Of course, he wouldn't be in trouble with the business, he happily sold the goods in his hand, and happily slaughtered the concubine.

Among Qi Mingcheng's goods this time, the two bags of pearls are the most valuable.Pearls can fetch a high price in the hands of a nomad.Although Yutong City is under martial law throughout the city, it is rare to see foreigners here, but some local people will communicate with foreign businessmen.

Qi Mingcheng waited quietly for many days, and he sold the pearls at a high price.

After all the goods were sold, Qi Mingcheng pulled Wu Shun to close the door and settled the account.

He didn't bring a lot of goods this time, but after deducting the purchase price and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses along the way, he actually made a net profit of 110 three taels and six coins.Of course, most of the money here was earned from two packs of pearls. In fact, the money earned from tea and rouge gouache can only be regarded as mediocre.However, it is already amazing to make a net profit of more than 100 taels!After all, they have only been out for less than half a year!

"So the volume of goods must be large. The freight worth 15 taels of silver in the south may be worth 100 taels of silver in the north, but if I only have the capital of 50 taels of silver, I will only make a gross profit of [-] taels of silver. It’s not worth it, after all, we still need to spend money to eat and drink on the road, and it takes half a year of work. But if it’s [-] taels of goods and the final gross profit is [-] taels, there is actually a profit in it.”

To put it bluntly, only if you are willing to spend your capital can you make a lot of money.

Qi Mingcheng bought a lot of furs and jade with great expense, and planned to transport them back to the south for sale.In addition, he also found a local reliable person to buy an old ginseng.This ginseng is not for sale, Qi Mingcheng bought it to keep at home for his family.

Although Qi Mingcheng has spiritual water, who knows how long his stop-and-go life will last?Because he is often out of town, if something happens to his family members, he can't give them spiritual water immediately, so the old ginseng who can hang himself still has to prepare one at home.

Qi Mingcheng originally planned to hire a few disabled soldiers, but it turned out that things were not as easy as he imagined.

First of all, the medical condition at this time is not good. If their arms, legs and feet were cut off on the battlefield, even if they were rescued by their own people, most of them would not be able to survive the massive blood loss and infection, so they would die directly; secondly , even if they are lucky enough to survive, there is no prosthetic technology in this era, and those with injured legs and feet will naturally not be able to follow him on the road. In fact, there are very few people who can be hired by Qi Mingcheng; third, the homeland is hard to leave, these Disabled soldiers feel psychologically that they are no longer capable, so most of them have already returned home early.

Although Qi Mingcheng didn't give up on this idea, it was really not easy for him to hire people for a while.

So, on the way home, Qi Mingcheng honestly followed a large caravan.

This team sells grain, and they do big business, anyway, Qi Mingcheng can't match it now.

On the way back, every time Qi Mingcheng went to a city, he would sell some things, and then buy some things.He played very well.Because he had done a lot of homework before, it seemed very natural and easy to do these things, and it didn't take him any extra time at all.

As a result, Qi Mingcheng has more leisure time. Instead of staring blankly in the car, why not find something meaningful to do?

Qi Mingcheng intends to realize the vague plan in his heart. He wants to write down what he has seen and heard along the way: "It doesn't matter what you write. You can write about scenery or people. For example, I can write about how Ah Shun is doing. He tactfully helped everyone escape from the Tudan tribe, and it can also be written that Gu Gaoyi and Bo Yuntian chose to join the army." They are all small people, but the stories of small people are true enough.

"Really? Can you write me in the book?" Ah Shun asked happily.

"Of course, let me think about it... The name of the book should be "Qi Ji". Qi is my surname, and Ji means footprints. When connected together, it means the road I walked, and the sound of "Qi Ji" sounds It sounds like a miracle... I actually came up with such a good name!" Qi Mingcheng was almost moved by himself.People who weren't named Fei couldn't understand his emotion. For a moment, he felt that he was really a genius!

Wu Shun moved his seat and sat a little further away from Qi Mingcheng.It was so embarrassing that he didn't even want to admit that he knew him.

Facing Ah Shun's look of expectation and disbelief, Qi Mingcheng deliberately said in a very exaggerated tone: "When I have money, I will publish "Qi Ji" and promote it to the whole country. Everyone knows, let everyone know that Ah Shun is so powerful!"

Ah Shun was so teased that he didn't know what to say.

People all over the country don't necessarily know who the emperor is, how can they know him!

The "Qi Ji" that Qi Mingcheng decided as a joke at this time will be a must-read extracurricular book for high school students at that time 500 years later, and some excerpts of it will also appear in Chinese textbooks for junior and senior high schools. "Reading and reciting the full text" has tossed countless students!

Of course, these are the futures that Qi Mingcheng did not expect at all.
