Ancient Fortune Records

The wool in Shen Li's warehouse is full, and the wool products workshop has not yet been built.But it was still far away from winter, Shen Li was not in a hurry.These large bungalows connected together are all workplaces for knitting sweaters and other clothes.Before weaving, a lot of preparatory work needs to be done.

Shen Li nodded: "It is normal to lose money in any business."

Shen Yan's eyeballs rolled around: "Brother, aren't you afraid that they will ruin your business if they say it out? If the common people are afraid that what you make will break, so they dare not use it, then you won't be able to sell it." What can I do if I go out?"

"Why do you think that what I make will break?"

Shen Yan said helplessly: "Brother, you are still pretending to be stupid. Things made of wool must be easy to break. In the past, there were people like you who used wool to keep warm and made quilts. Who knew that the quilts became moldy and smelly before they started to be used. The ones that don't stink will soon have bugs. Brother, why don't you do it, if you build a new house full of bugs, it will be too scary." Shen Yan especially hates bugs. When he was young, he thought butterflies were beautiful. Shen Li's young butterfly was a caterpillar, so he couldn't like butterflies anymore.

Shen Li pinched Shen Yan's head, "Stinky boy, don't worry so much, do you think your brother and I are a fool?"

Shen Yan shook his head, he knew it was impossible for his brother to do business that was destined to lose money.

In August and September, Shen Li began to ask the agricultural officer to accompany him to various villages to check the planting conditions of wheat fields, cotton and corn.

The wheat crops were good, and the tenant farmers could now do well if the landlords gave them good profits.In addition, Shen Li encourages more open land, so most families have their own land.A group of children were wearing sackcloth clothes that they only wore in the field, picking up the leftover ears of wheat on the ground.Spread a layer of cloth on the basket to prevent the picked ears from getting out of the gap in the basket again.

Shen Li didn't wear an official uniform, but many peasants recognized him.

"Look, it's the county magistrate! Master, didn't our family marinate a duck last month? Hurry up and bring it to the county magistrate!"

When the others heard it, as if they had realized it, they all ran home, unwilling to be reconciled to the county magistrate accepting other people's things, and when it was their turn to give them, the county magistrate just refused to accept them.

Shen Li helplessly told the two loud waiters beside him to tell those who were running home to stop immediately and continue doing farm work.

"Folks, I'm Shen Li. I'm here today to see what you need. Don't be too polite. I won't accept anything as a gift."

There were a lot of simple people in ancient times, and they were always given one point, and they had to return five points.Shen Li is not short of money, and he still feels that officials are public servants of the people, so naturally he is even more unwilling to accept them.

"Magistrate Shen is really a good official. We have been doing farm work for so long. How have we ever seen the county magistrate really watch the harvest during the autumn harvest?"

"You don't know, our county magistrate used to work in the fields with his father!"

……

Shen Li pretended not to hear them talking about him, only saw a young man who was a few years younger than him struggling to cut the wheat, his hands were covered with bloodstains from the wheat awns, but he still didn't stop, as if he didn't feel any pain Same.

"Why is he the only one who collects his family's fields? Don't you have any parents or brothers?"

As soon as Shen Li asked, the people in this village felt a little embarrassed. They were all busy with their own fields, and it had become a habit to ignore such a poor man intentionally or unintentionally.When the county magistrate asked this question, it seemed that they were a little impersonal.

"My lord doesn't know that this child's father is a gambler! Every family has been borrowed by him, but he has never paid back! This bastard sold his wife and several children a year ago for the sake of gambling. Poor Those innocent people don't know where they are living their lives now!" A villager told Shen Li about this matter full of sighs.

"Wei Tian, ​​a big boy, went out to move goods to make money that day, how did he know that his father could do such a beastly thing?" a village woman interjected.She was acquainted with the Wei family, so she naturally knew that Wei Tian's father was an animal.

"Hey, so I didn't see my brother, sister and his mother when I got home. When I learned that they were sold, I picked up an ax and cut off his father's leg..."

The villagers talked about the horror of the scene at that time, "There is blood all over the place, how can this be rescued? As a result, the magistrate Yan ordered a man with excellent medical skills to use medicinal materials to stop the bleeding. His legs could not be used, and he was still alive. .”

Shen Li was taken aback, the child looked quite calm, he never expected to do such... such a delightful thing!

But this is not in line with contemporary values, Shen Li naturally pretended to shake his head regretfully.

Shen Li saw the child named Wei Tian from the corner of his eyes, only to see that his movements stopped, his slightly long hair covered half of his face because of his bent posture, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Shen Li thought, the child could probably hear what they were talking about him.The son almost killed his father, the child probably received more criticism in the village than his father.Shen Li couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to him, but extremes would indeed make many people pay the price.

"If the kid wasn't so murderous, we wouldn't be so alienated from him..."

"Yeah, even Daddy dared to chop, if we offend him..."

"A year ago, didn't magistrate Yan look for his family?"

"I found it! I just found a little girl who is now a child bride in a family surnamed Wang in the next county. If you want to redeem someone, you have to give them 20 taels of silver. Otherwise, they won't let her go."

"Where does Wei Tian have any money? Only this year, the county magistrate asked everyone to make tofu and soap, so he made some money."

Shen Li suddenly asked: "What about his father?"

"Trafficking good people is a crime, especially trafficking in children. The county magistrate Yan sent him into exile. I don't know whether it is life or death. For a person like him, it is best to die, bah!"

Shen Li nodded in agreement, then suddenly left everyone behind and came to Wei Tian, ​​"Raise your head."

Wei Tian didn't speak, just tightly clutching the wheat in his hand, blood slid down his hand, staining a small stone on the ground red.

"If I were you, I might be even crazier, and I would torture him, and only let him leave a breath to tell the whereabouts of his family."

Wei Tian opened his eyes wide in surprise, and raised his head to look at Shen Li. How could such a Bodhisattva-like person have the same thoughts as a "bad seed" like him?

Shen Li said sincerely: "People's joys and sorrows are not connected, especially those who are not willing to stand in your position and think about your feelings."

Wei Tian didn't speak, in fact, no matter how the villagers talked about him, he always felt that he had done nothing wrong.At this time, he didn't know whether the county magistrate was mocking him when he said such things to him.

"Do you want to leave here?" Shen Li suddenly felt that this young man would ruin him sooner or later if he stayed in this place.Although the former county magistrate was not a particularly capable official, he had compassion for these suffering people in his heart. For example, Wei Tian, ​​he did not pursue it carefully. Wei Tian's behavior had already violated the law, but the magistrate Yan did not Without giving Wei Tian's father a chance to appeal, he was immediately exiled.As for Tian Wei, he is still a clean farmer with no bad records.

People in the village will discuss this matter, but almost no one will use this matter to hold a special meeting to criticize Wei Tian, ​​at most they will ignore it.

However, this kind of indifferent treatment can kill a person's will to live even more. If it weren't for this young man and a younger sister who knew his whereabouts to be redeemed, perhaps he would not want to live at this time.

Left and right are just taking someone to eat, Shen Li feels that as a former university professor, he really doesn't want to see children suffer.

"Come with me. I'll find a way to find your mother and other younger brothers and sisters for you. I will also find a way to get her back for your sister who has already been found, but the cost is that while making money, I will pay for it." You have to pay me, are you willing?"

Would you like to?He is willing in his heart.

He always felt that he was a bad person. He resented his own father for being vicious, his mother for being cowardly, why he didn't go home early for a ten-cent wage, and resented the family surnamed Wang who bought his sister and didn't want to return her to him at the original price. People...he even resented those villagers who ignored him and talked about him behind his back!

Resentment is like the air, always tempting him, "Kill them, you will be liberated if you kill them, and you won't have to suffer."

But seeing that his sister was still suffering, he didn't practice this idea and told himself to be patient day after day.

He thinks that this kind of life is really enough, is he willing?No, he thought, the county magistrate should ask him if he deserves it.

Suddenly a person appeared who said he wanted to help him, and he even felt that what happened today happened in a dream.

The villagers also felt that Wei Tian was lucky. How could a man who almost killed his father attract the county magistrate's attention?But the county magistrate asked them to think about Wei Tian's situation in another way. They didn't think it was okay, but the more they thought about it, the more pitiful the child was.

Wei Tian was very hardworking, and before Shen Li could draw a portrait, he started to work for Shen Li.

All the wool collected by Shen Li must be cleaned and flossed.Wool cleaning is the process of removing fat and impurities, and fleece is the process of breaking wool into separated and loose single fibers, and this process is also a process of removing impurities.

These jobs are very tiring, especially the slingshots are very heavy. Adults use slingshots to cotton, and their arms are sore for several days, but Wei Tian only knows how to work with his head covered.

Shen Yan couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother, how much did you pay him to get a person to work hard for you? He doesn't even know that his nose bleeds from playing wool!"

The fine wool does make the nose uncomfortable to bleed, but that only happens when there is no rest at all.

As for wages, Shen Li didn't even pay Wei Tian!Shen Li told him directly that this was a reward for saving his family, so he took care of three meals a day, and he had to work hard in the future to pay off his debts.

Shen Li could see that this was a young man who kept his word. In order not to let Wei Tian feel that he was lying, he questioned him every day about the looks of his own family members.

Through his description, Shen Li finally succeeded in drawing portraits of Wei Tian's family members.

Wei Tian almost threw himself on the drawing paper, looking at his mother and younger siblings.After a while, he grinned and cried.

He thought: What a shame, he actually cried in front of the county magistrate.

Shen Li patted him on the shoulder: "Give you half a day off, post this paper with the yamen in the afternoon. Most of the merchants who come to Yanhui County are going to sell their goods in various places. If they see it, they will definitely notify us of."
